I don't like my sweet tea too sweet nor too strong so due to trial and error, I finally found the right combination I can enjoy drinking all day long.
Perfect Sweet Tea
1 half-gallon plastic pitcher
5 Lipton tea bags
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 quart of boiling water
1 quart ice water
Directions:
In a tea kettle or saucepan, bring to a boil one quart of water. Add 3/4 cup sugar and 5 tea bags to a heat resistant pitcher. Add boiling water to the pitcher. Steep tea for two minutes then discard tea bags. Mix to combine sugar and tea, add cold water and mix again. Refrigerate.
