Every girl of the south has her own way of making sweet tea. Over the year’s I’ve simplified my method and now am in the habit of making a small 2-quart pitcher each night while I prepare dinner. It’s perfect each and every time and super simple.
Dinnertime Sweet Tea
Ingredients
- 2 Family Size Tea Bags or 5 Regular Size, I prefer the Luzianne brand, but use what you have
- 2 Cups Water + ~6 cups
- 2/3 Cup Sugar
Instructions
- Fill Large Glass Measuring Cup with 2 cups water.
- Microwave on high for 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place tea bags in your 2 quart pitcher.
- Pour your hot water over the tea bags.
- Let steep while you prepare dinner, at least 15 minutes.
- Using a large wooden spoon, remove your tea bags.
- Add 2/3 cup sugar and stir until dissolved.
- Fill the rest of your 2 quart picture with water (approx. 6 more cups)
- Pour over full glass of ice.
Notes
*You could certainly cut down on the amount of sugar if desired.
