How to Make Sweet Sun Tea

Combine 8 black tea bags (or 4 family size bags) with 8 cups of boiling water in a large, heat-safe pitcher.
Stir gently to ensure all tea bags are submerged.
Allow the tea to steep for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the tea bags and let the tea cool completely.
Once cooled, add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar or to your preferred sweetness.
Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add 4 cups of cold water to dilute to desired strength.
Add lemon slices (optional) and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving for best results.
Serve over ice and enjoy your refreshing Sweet Sun Tea!
