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

Directions
  1. Pour the sugar into a large pitcher. Bring water to a boil in a large pan. When the water begins to boil, remove from the heat, and place the teabags in. Let steep for 5 to 6 minutes.
  2. Remove tea bags, and return tea to the heat. Bring just to a boil, then pour into the pitcher, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Fill the pitcher half way with ice, and stir until most of it melts. Then fill the pitcher the rest of the way with cold water, and stir until blended.

My husband says you are an angel from God. We've been looking for a sweet tea recipe and I just could not get it right. I saw your recipe and my hubbie went into spasms. I just made it and it is perfect. He said to tell you he loves you! Seriously he does. He told me to get back on here and give you a 10 if I could. Thanks so much!


We love sweet tea. So many don't serve sweet tea, even in Florida. We love it so strong that you can't even see thru it. Strong & sweet. I'm gonna have to make some now!!


YEah this is great tea {Love it} thanks
