Method

Boil and steep tea

Pour the water into a medium saucepan and bring it to a full boil over medium-high heat. Remove the pan from the heat, add the tea bags, and gently press them down so they are fully submerged. Let the tea steep for 10 minutes so it becomes strong and flavorful.

Dissolve the sugar

Remove the tea bags and discard them. While the tea is still very hot, stir in the sugar until it fully dissolves and you no longer see any grains on the bottom of the pan. Pour the sweet tea into a heat-safe pitcher.

Cool the tea

Let the pitcher sit at room temperature for 20 minutes so it cools slightly, then place it in the refrigerator for 45 minutes, or until the tea is nicely chilled. Cooling it before serving helps the flavor stay strong instead of getting watered down too quickly.

Serve over ice

Fill 8 glasses with ice, then pour the cold sweet tea over the top. Give each glass a quick stir and serve right away while it is icy and refreshing.
