Ingredients

8 servings

8 cup water
6 black tea bags (family-size or regular)
Ingredient note
Black tea is only a FODMAP concern when brewed very strong, since natural sugar levels rise with brew strength; this recipe steeps 6 tea bags in about 8 cups of liquid, weaker than a typical cup of tea, so a serving is likely fine on a low FODMAP diet. If you prefer to always avoid black tea bags, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 cup granulated sugar

For serving

ice, for serving
lemon slices, for serving (optional)
fresh mint sprigs, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Bring 4 cups of water to a full boil in a medium saucepan over high heat.
2
Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the tea bags, and steep for 5 minutes. Remove and discard the tea bags without squeezing them — squeezing releases bitter tannins.
