Como fazer Microwave Sweet Tea

Add 3 cups of water to a 4-cup microwave-safe measuring cup.
Add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda (optional, for a smoother taste).
Add 4-6 family size tea bags (adjust to your preferred strength).
Microwave on high for 7-8 minutes, or until tea is brewed to your liking.
Add 1 cup of granulated sugar (or to taste) to a 1-gallon pitcher.
Carefully pour the hot tea from the measuring cup into the pitcher, squeezing the tea bags gently to extract maximum flavor. Discard the tea bags.
Stir the tea and sugar at the bottom of the pitcher until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Let the tea steep for approximately 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir again.
Fill the gallon pitcher with cold water.
Stir well to combine.
Serve immediately over ice or chill in the refrigerator for an even more refreshing treat. Add a lemon slice to each glass for an extra zing!
