Fructose Free Classic Sweet Iced Tea

Sweet, refreshing, and made entirely from scratch, this classic iced tea is the kind of drink that belongs on every porch and picnic table. For anyone managing fructose sensitivity, sweetened beverages can be a minefield — most store-bought teas and lemonades are loaded with high-fructose corn syrup or fruit juice concentrates that cause real discomfort. Here, plain granulated sugar does the sweetening, which is far better tolerated since it contains equal parts glucose and fructose rather than the excess fructose found in many commercial sweeteners. The method is straightforward: steep good black tea bags, dissolve the sugar while the brew is still hot, then dilute and chill until perfectly cold. Lemon slices and fresh mint are offered as optional garnishes, so you can keep it simple or dress it up depending on how you're feeling. The result is a tall, golden glass of something genuinely satisfying — no compromise, no mystery ingredients, just honest sweet tea done right.
