McDonalds Sweet Tea Copycat Recipe
Description
The tea is brewed using one quart of boiling water infused with tea bags and sugar, allowing the sugar to fully dissolve. After steeping at a simmer to draw out the tea flavors, the tea bags are removed. The brewed tea is poured over ice in a pitcher and topped with additional cold water to reach the full serving volume. This preparation yields a tea that is both sweet and full-bodied.
Chilling the tea over ice ensures rapid cooling and slight dilution, adjusting the intensity. The recipe is straightforward with no special ingredients beyond basic black tea, sugar, and water, making it accessible. It can be stored in the refrigerator until served.
Ingredients
- 2 quarts water divided use
- 3 tea or 12 regular-sized teabags, family-sized teabags
