Method
- 1
Brew the tea packets using a tea machine or by steeping in hot water according to the packet directions, brewing enough to yield about 2 gallons of strong tea.
- 2
While the tea brews, add the sugar to a heat-safe 4-quart Cambro or large pitcher.
- 3
Pour hot water over the sugar (about 1-2 quarts, enough to fully dissolve it) and stir until completely dissolved, forming a simple syrup.
- 4
Once the tea is finished brewing, pour the hot tea into a large container along with the dissolved sugar syrup and stir well to combine.
- 5
Add cold water as needed to bring the total volume to about 3 gallons, then stir again.
- 6
Refrigerate until fully chilled, at least 2 hours, before serving over ice.
