Sweet Iced Tea
Description
The Sweet Iced Tea recipe starts by boiling water and pouring it over tea bags in a pitcher. The tea steep time is kept between 1 to 2 minutes to avoid bitterness. After removing the tea bags, sugar is stirred in until fully dissolved. Filling the pitcher with ice and cold water cools the tea to serving temperature.
This method yields a mildly sweetened tea with a clear golden color. The balance between steeping time and sugar content is essential for smooth flavor. The iced tea can be served as a cool, refreshing drink and is easily adjusted in sweetness according to preference.
Sugar amount can be modified to make the tea sweeter or less sweet. The recipe does not mention other flavorings or additives, focusing on a traditional sweet iced tea experience.
