Delicious! I have tried so many recipes over the years and they didn’t taste right. Yours does.
Thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you so much for this recipe. It is the BEST homemade Sweet Iced Tea !
Better still, the baking soda in the tea has allowed me to enjoy iced tea again…
helps with the acid .

Yes!! The baking soda makes a difference. A family member introduced me to the iced tea with baking soda in the 90’s along with the added addition of Sunkist orange soda. I was completely besides myself. Simply Delicious! Thank you for the reminder.

Hi Karen! Yes, if you double the recipe, you will want to double all ingredients 😊

Hey. I was wondering if you can double this recipe? If you can double it, should you double the tea bag amount.

I’m over the moon. I tried your Sweet tea, it’s practically the same flavor as the one I use to buy (to pricey now).
My neighbor was even able to do a taste comparison. He was actually drinking my go to brand and said “this is spot on!”

Sam, not a tea question, although I will try this! I am considering buy a new portable induction burner. I have read about the one you have in your picture here by Duxtop. Are you happy with it? Many thanks.

I made this in my drip coffee pot and it came out fine. It tastes great although i do like my sweet tea a little sweeter but i am trying to drink it with the amount in the recipe. it is still good and prob a better idea not to put as much sugar as i usually do!

I have used these same ingredients for my Sweet Tea for year’s but never have I tried your simple syrup with the tea bags technique. I’m trying it first thing in the morning. I was born & raised in the north but I drink so much sweet tea I have a Southern accent.

This is perfect! A little sweet for me but gets raves. I’ve made it many times now with varying amounts of sugar depending on my audience. Especially good with some high quality tea bags.

Hi Sam! Since you published this recipe, I’ve been soooo tea drunk that I forgot to leave a note. It is absolutely delicious!! I make it exactly as written. My husband loves it and he is an ice tea drinker connoisseur (although I question that because. I tried it with bottled lemon juice and didn’t tell him since he would have grunted and turned up his nose. Instead he swilled it down like the prior batches). So if you’re in a pinch you can use the bottled stuff but like you, recommend fresh lemons first. Thank you so much for another awesome recipe!

If your pot is big enough, that should be fine. But it will likely still be pretty warm from heating the syrup and could just end up warming up your cold water.
