Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Large Pitcher
  • Long Spoon
  • Measuring Cup

Ingredients
  

  • Family Size Black Tea Bags 3
  • Granulated Sugar 1 1/2 Cups
  • Filtered Water 1 Gallon
  • Baking Soda 1 Pinch
  • ICE Cubes 4 Cups

Instructions
 

  • Place your pot on the stove. Pour in four cups of fresh water. Bring the water to a rolling boil quickly.
  • Turn off the heat once it boils. Add your black tea bags to the water. Let them steep for five minutes exactly.
  • Remove the tea bags from the pot carefully. Add a tiny pinch of baking soda now. This keeps the tea clear and smooth.
  • Pour the hot tea into your large pitcher. Add the sugar while the liquid is hot. Stir until all the sugar disappears completely.
  • Fill the rest of the pitcher with cold water. Stir the mixture one more time. This balances the sweetness and strength perfectly.
  • Place the pitcher in the fridge to cool. Serve it over plenty of fresh ice. Add a lemon slice if you want.

Notes

  • Use high-quality black tea bags for the best flavor.
  • Do not squeeze the tea bags when removing them.
  • Always add sugar while the tea is still hot.
  • Use filtered water to keep the flavor very clean.
  • Add the baking soda to prevent any cloudy tea.
  • Let the tea cool completely before adding ice cubes.
  • Stir the sugar until you see no crystals left.
  • Store the tea in a glass pitcher if possible.
