How to Make Sweet Tea
Description
How to Make Sweet Tea involves selecting two complementary herbal tea bags steeped in 8 cups of simmering water for 3-5 minutes. This careful steeping preserves delicate flavors without bitterness. After the tea bags are removed, sugar is stirred in while the tea is still warm to dissolve fully. Adjusting the sugar amount depends on how the tea will be served—more added if serving hot over ice, or less if chilling first. The result is a mildly sweetened herbal tea ideal for serving cold over ice to cool and refresh.
The herbal tea blend lets you tailor the flavor profile to your preference. Serving over ice enhances the refreshing aspect, making it suitable for warm days or any moment you want a cool, subtly sweet drink. It can also be stored chilled for convenience.
Ingredients
- 8 cups water
- 6 herbal tea bags
- 1/3 - 2/3 cup sugar or sub your sweetener of choice
Instructions
- Select 2 types of herbal tea that you feel complement each other. Pour the water into a medium sauce pot. Then remove the paper tags from the tea bags and place them in the water.
- Once the water has come to a simmer, turn off the heat and cover to steep for 3-5 minutes.
- Scoop the tea bags out of the pot with a slotted spoon and stir in the sugar. If you plan to pour the hot tea over ice and serve immediately, add more sugar. If you plan to chill the concentrated tea before serving, add less sugar. Either way, serve cold over ice.
