Zubereitung von Sweet Lemon Iced Tea
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup fresh lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
- Stir until the sugar, lemon juice, and baking soda are thoroughly combined.
- In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.
- Remove from heat and add 6 black tea bags (or to taste). Steep for 4-5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the tea bags, ensuring not to squeeze them. Squeezing can release bitter tannins.
- Gradually pour the hot tea into the sugar and lemon mixture, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar.
- Transfer the mixture to a one-gallon container. Fill the container to the top with cold water.
- Stir well to combine and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Serve over ice and enjoy! Garnish with lemon slices or fresh mint for an extra touch.
