Low Sugar (or Sugar Free) Southern Sweet Tea

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 3 family-size tea bags
• 8 cups water
• 2 (1 g) packets stevia
• 1/4-1/2 cup sugar

Recipe

• 1 boil 4 cups hot water. place tea bags in heat-proof glass container. pour boiling water over tea bags and steep 15-20 minutes. remove tea bags. stir in sugar until completely disolved.
• 2 add 4 cups ice water to tea, then stir in stevia packets. refrigerate overnight. (the stevia after-taste is too strong on the first day) serve over ice, and use within 4 days (the tea will start to get a bitter taste after a few days).
• 3 note: this makes a strong tea. i like to pour mine over a glass of ice and let it sit for a while before i drink it, so i make it strong enough that it taste right when watered down by melted ice.
