Homemade Sweet Iced Tea?

Question

Alright southerners... whip out a way for me to make homemade sweet iced tea!

Thanks ya'll!

Answer 1

I am from Texas, that would make me a southerner. My favorite brand is Luzianne iced tea bags. Follow the instructions but add about a cup of sugar when the tea is still hot so all the sugar will dissolve quickly.

Answer 2

2 cups sugar
1/2 gallon water
1 tray ice cubes
3 family sized teabags of orange pekoe tea
3 cups cold water, or as needed


Pour the sugar into a large pitcher. Bring water to a boil in a large pan. When the water begins to boil, remove from the heat, and place the teabags in. Let steep for 5 to 6 minutes.

Remove tea bags, and return tea to the heat. Bring just to a boil, then pour into the pitcher, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Fill the pitcher half way with ice, and stir until most of it melts. Then fill the pitcher the rest of the way with cold water, and stir until blended.

Answer 3

Brings 4 cups of cold water to a rolling boil.
Put 1 cup of of sugar in a 2 quart pitcher.
Pour a little of the boiling water over the sugar to dissolve it.
Add 7 tea bags (Luzianne is my fav brand) and pour 4 cups boiling water over the tea bags and the sugar.
Cover and let steep 1 hour.
Remove tea bags.
Stir.
Add 4 more cups ice cold water.
Stir and ENJOY.

Answer 4

Boil 3 (family sized)tea bags.
Let the tea bags seep for 3 mins afterwards.
Add 2 cups of sugar.
This will make 1 gallon of very good sweet tea
You will be a hit!!

You can also add fresh cut lemons on the side of the glass
