Recipe Information
Sweet Tea
Cultural Context
Sweet tea is a quintessential beverage in the Southern United States, often enjoyed during hot summer days and social gatherings. Its origins trace back to the early 19th century when tea became popular in America, particularly in the South. Sweet tea is not just a drink but a cultural staple, symbolizing hospitality and warmth. Today, it is widely enjoyed across the country, with variations including flavored teas and different sweeteners.
Boil water in a large pot.
Add 3 family-size tea bags to the boiling water.
Cover the pot with a lid and let the tea steep for 15 to 30 minutes, depending on how busy you are.
After steeping, press the tea bags with the back of a spoon to extract all the liquid.
Add 1 and 3/4 cups of sugar to the hot tea and stir until dissolved.
Fill the pitcher with cold water to almost the top, covering the tea bags.
Let the tea sit to sweeten further, adding more sugar if desired.
Add lots of ice to the pitcher before serving.
Squeeze a squirt of Meyer lemon into the tea for flavor.
Crush fresh mint leaves to release their flavor and add to the tea.
