Low Sodium Southern Sweet Iced Tea

There is something deeply satisfying about a tall glass of sweet iced tea on a warm afternoon, and this classic Southern version delivers exactly that kind of simple, refreshing pleasure. The method here is straightforward but thoughtful — steeping the bags without squeezing them keeps the brew smooth and mellow rather than bitter, and dissolving the sugar into the hot concentrate means every sip is evenly sweet from top to bottom. With just three pantry staples and a little patience, you end up with a pitcher full of something that tastes like it took far more effort than it actually did. A squeeze of lemon or a sprig of fresh mint takes it from everyday to genuinely special, though it honestly holds its own without any garnish at all. This is the kind of drink that disappears fast, so you may want to make a second pitcher right away.
