Steps:
- Place family size tea bag in a microwave safe container filled with water & microwave until it boils (approx. 4min for 4cups).
- While that is going, in a gallon size pitcher, pour about 1 1/2 - 2 inches of sugar in the bottom. I usually eye it and it comes out perfect.
- The microwave should be finishing up. Pour hot tea water into the pitcher over the sugar. The hot water dissolves the sugar granuals. Stir until completely dissolved. (If you have time, let sit in microwave for a while and steep even more. If you don't have time, that's cool too.).
- Fill the rest with cold water & refrigerate.
- Serve over ice. Enjoy!
- --------------------------------------------.
- I, personally, don't put lemon in it because I find that lemon cuts the sugar & you have to use a whole lot more sugar for it to be southern "sweet".

SIMPLE SWEET TEA
This is my (southern) wife's recipe, she introduced me to it when we first met, and I have been drinking it daily ever since. In the last few years due minor sugar reductions we have lowered the sugar level from 2/3 cup to 1/2. I really have not noticed much of a difference. I still sometimes like really sweet southern sweet tea, but this is a daily drinker.

SOUTHERN SWEET ICED TEA
This is how my Granny made sweet tea and it is some kind of sweet. Know that and beware. Pa-Paw used to down 2-3 glasses after working in the garden all day. Back off the sugar if you can't handle it. This one is for true southerners only ;)

PERFECT SOUTHERN SWEET TEA
This recipe uses a coffee maker to make perfectly-brewed sweet tea. A supervisor at a bank where I worked back in 1983, gave me this fail-proof recipe. I've been making it ever since, and always receive great compliments on this delicious tea! :)

Steps:
- 1. Fill a 10-12 cup coffee-maker carafe with cold water. Pour into back of coffee maker, as if making a pot of coffee. In brewing basket, place 2 family-sized tea bags, laying them sideways on top of each other. (Shake the tea bags, to spread out the tea inside each bag, before placing them on top of each other). Turn on coffee pot, and allow water to pour through, until pot is full of concentrated tea.
- 2. Pour 2 cups sugar into a 1-gallon pitcher. Pour all the hot tea over the sugar, and stir until dissolved. Fill coffee-maker carafe w/cold water and add to the sweetened hot tea, until gallon-pitcher is filled. Stir well. Allow tea to sit on counter-top, until cooled to room temperature, then store in refrigerator to chill.
- 3. Note: If you place the tea in the fridge before it is cooled to room temperature, it may become cloudy. If you're in a hurry for a cold glass of tea, you can add crushed ice (in place of tap water) to the hot concentrated tea, to fill gallon pitcher. Then, it can be stored right away in the refrigerator. As with most recipes, this tea seems to taste better on the 2nd day. But, it's also delicious immediately after it's made. Just serve over lots of ice! :)
- 4. One further note: I think that using a coffee-maker which has also been used for brewing coffee, can cause the tea to have a little bit of the coffee taste in it (even when the coffee pot has been washed). So, I have a coffee-maker that I only use for making tea in. We use a separate coffee-maker for my husband's coffee. :)
