Eosinophilic Esophagitis Friendly Southern Sweet Iced Tea

Sweet, cold, and deeply refreshing, this classic Southern iced tea is the kind of drink that makes a hot afternoon feel instantly more manageable. It comes together with just three pantry staples — water, black tea bags, and sugar — which means there's no guesswork about hidden additives or problematic ingredients that can make store-bought beverages a concern. The method is straightforward: steep, sweeten while hot so the sugar dissolves completely, then dilute and chill for a perfectly balanced glass every time. One small but important tip in this recipe is to avoid squeezing the tea bags, which keeps any bitter edge out of the final drink. Served over a tall glass of ice with optional lemon slices or fresh mint, it's as pretty as it is satisfying. This is the kind of simple, crowd-pleasing recipe that fits easily into a restricted diet without feeling like a compromise — just pure, classic sweet tea the way it's meant to taste.
