Categories     Tea

Yield makes 8 cups; 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 bags black caffeinated tea
8 cups filtered water
1/4 to 1/2 cup honey
1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar
1 lemon, thinly sliced
Ice, for serving

Steps:

  • Wash a clear, glass pitcher in hot, soapy water and dry thoroughly. Place the tea bags in the pitcher and add the filtered water. Set in the full sun until the tea is nicely dark, 1 to 2 hours. Remove and discard the tea bags.
  • Add 1/4 cup honey and 1/4 cup sugar and stir until completely dissolved. Taste and continue to add honey and sugar until the tea reaches the desired sweetness.
  • Add the lemon slices to the tea and serve over ice. If not serving immediately, store in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days.
  • From Aunt Elsa's Kitchen
  • Just float the lemon slices in the tea; don't squeeze the lemon juice into the full batch. The lemon juice alters the balance and acidity of the tea causing it to taste "off." Of course, once the sweet tea is served, folks can squeeze the lemon into their own glasses if they'd like.
