Sweet Tea
Savor summer with a refreshing glass of classic all-American sweet tea. Simple to make and delicious to drink, it’s the perfect companion to brunch or a picnic. So round up your favorite tea bags, a handful of our Belgian sugar pearls and get brewing!
Servings: 8 cups
Ingredients
- 7 black tea bags
- 8 cups of filtered water
- 1 cup Belgian Pearl Sugar
- plenty of ice
- 1 lemon optional
Instructions
- Bring water to a boil in a large pot and stir in sugar pearls. Turn down the heat to gently melt the sugar.
- Once sugar has melted, turn off heat and place tea bags in the pot. Allow tea bags to steep for 15 – 20 minutes (less time if you prefer a lighter tea, longer if you prefer a deeper brewed flavor). Remove the tea bags and allow the sweet tea to cool down.
- After the sweet tea has cooled to a manageable temperature, pour into a large pitcher and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
- Pour over a tall glass of ice. Squeeze lemon juice into your glass, stir and add a slice of lemon for garnish. Cheers!
