Classic Alabama Sweet Tea
Ingredients
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 gallon water
  • 1 tray ice cubes
  • 3 family sized teabags of orange pekoe tea
  • 3 cups cold water, or as needed
Instructions
1
Start by adding sugar to a large container. Next, place water in a substantial cooking vessel and bring it to the boiling point. Once the water reaches its boiling state, take it off the heat source and insert the tea bags into the mixture. Allow it to sit for 5-6 minutes, which is a period of time that allows the flavors to infuse.

After removing the tea bags, put the tea back on the heat source and bring it just to a boil. Then, pour the contents into the pitcher and stir until the sugar is fully incorporated. Fill the pitcher halfway with ice, which will help to cool it down slightly. Stir until most of the ice has melted and then fill the pitcher with cold water, stirring constantly to achieve a uniform blend.
