Ingredients
  

  • 8 cups water divided
  • 3 Red Diamond tea bags family size
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar adjust to taste
  • Fresh mint leaves optional
  • Slices of lime and lemon for garnish optional
  • Ice cubes

Instructions
 

  • Boil The Water: Start by bringing 4 cups of water to a rolling boil in a large pot. This is where the magic begins!
  • Brew The Tea: Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat and add your Red Diamond tea bags. Let them steep for about 5-7 minutes. For a stronger flavor, feel free to let it steep a bit longer. After steeping, remove the tea bags and gently squeeze out any extra liquid into the pot.
  • Sweeten The Tea: While the tea is still warm, stir in the granulated sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved. This step is crucial because the warmth helps the sugar blend seamlessly, creating that signature sweet tea taste.
  • Add The Remaining Water: Pour the remaining 4 cups of cold water into the pot, stirring well. This helps cool down the tea a bit and dilutes it to the perfect strength.
  • Chill And Serve: Once your sweet tea is mixed, transfer it to a pitcher and refrigerate until it’s nice and cold. If you’re in a hurry, you can pour it directly over a glass filled with ice cubes.
  • Garnish And Enjoy: To add a bit of flair, throw in some fresh mint leaves or garnish with lime and lemon slices. It’s those little touches that make your sweet tea experience even more special.
