Zubereitung von Louisiana Sweet Tea

Fill your coffee maker's reservoir with 12 cups of cold water.
Place 6-8 family-size tea bags (or equivalent amount of loose leaf tea) directly into the coffee basket. Do not use a filter.
Brew the tea according to your coffee maker's instructions.
While the tea is brewing, in a 1-gallon pitcher, dissolve 2 cups (400g) of granulated sugar in 2 cups of hot water. Stir until completely dissolved.
Once the tea is brewed, carefully pour it into the sugar mixture in the pitcher.
Add enough cold water to reach the 1-gallon mark.
(Optional) Add the juice of 1-2 lemons for extra zing.
(Optional) For extra-chilled tea, fill the pitcher with ice before adding the hot tea mixture. Stir well.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled. Enjoy!
