How to Make Sweet Tea

Place your tea bags in a pot and pour in 3 cups of hot water. Allow them to steep for 6-7 minutes, stirring gently until the water turns a rich amber hue.
Carefully remove the tea bags and transfer the hot brewed tea to a pitcher. Add 9 tablespoons of sugar, stirring until it fully dissolves.
Slowly pour in 4.5 cups of cold water, mixing well to balance the robust flavor.
Add 1 cup of ice directly into the pitcher, ensuring your sweet tea is refreshingly cool and ready to enjoy.
Pour the sweet tea into tall glasses filled with ice, and serve.
