Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Steep Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add the 4 black tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for about 5 minutes for a strong flavor.
Add Sugar
After steeping, remove the tea bags and stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar while the tea is still warm. Continue stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add Lemon Juice
Stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to add a hint of citrus flavor to your sweet tea.
Cool Down
Let the sweet tea cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour until chilled.
