MCDONALD'S SWEET TEA RECIPE

Steps:

• Place 4 cups (1 quart) of water into a large pot and slowly heat the water over medium heat. Once the water starts becoming warmer, add the tea bags and sugar.
• Bring the tea mixture to a low simmer while continuously stirring to dissolve all of the sugar. This is an important step as any sugar granules will leave a strange and unpleasant texture in the cooled off drink.
• Once it has simmered for a minute, remove the pot from the heat and set it aside to allow the tea to steep, about 5 minutes.
• Remove all of the tea bags and allow the tea to cool down considerably.
• Fill a large pitcher with ice cubes and slowly pour the semi-cooled tea over the ice. The ice will start to melt whilst cooling the tea. Add the rest of the water to fill the pitcher and stir to incorporate evenly.
• Place the pitcher in the refrigerator to chill until needed. Serve this delicious cold beverage at a picnic, party or a simple anytime-beverage.
