Who doesn’t love a refreshing glass of sweet tea on a hot summer day?! For years I have been making homemade sweet tea. Not only can you make any variety you would like, but you’ll also save quite a bit of money by by making your own! I like to get caffeine-free tea bags which cost about $3 for a box of 48. From that box I’ll get about 9 gallons of sweet tea…not too shabby, huh? 😀
Check out this super easy recipe below and get to brewing. Cheers!
Homemade Sweet Tea
Enjoy this refreshing and delicious sweet tea on those hot summer days.
- 5 tea bags
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 1 gallon water
- lemons
- Add tea bags to pitcher.
- Boil water and pour over tea bags.
- Allow to steep for a few minutes.
- Add sugar while the tea is still hot so it easily dissolves. You can add more or less sugar depending on your preference.
- Allow to cool.
- Serve over ice and add lemon slices if desired.
Try using different flavors of tea if you’d like. We’ve tried Raspberry and Orange Cranberry which were both delicious too.
My brother users one raspberry tea bags with the 4 regular and it taste really good! 🙂
Mmm…that sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Refreshingly delicious!
