How to Make Another Southern Iced Tea

  1. Bring 5 cups of water to a rolling boil in a 2-quart saucepan.
  2. Add 4 family-size tea bags (or equivalent amount of loose leaf tea), remove from heat, and steep for 5 minutes.
  3. While the tea steeps, add desired amount of sugar (see ingredients) to a 1-gallon pitcher.
  4. After 5 minutes, carefully remove the tea bags from the saucepan, gently squeezing to extract remaining liquid.
  5. Add the steeped tea to the pitcher with the sugar and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  6. Add enough cold water to fill the pitcher, leaving 2-3 inches of space at the top.
  7. Stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  8. Pour over ice and enjoy!
