Low Fiber Southern Sweet Iced Tea

Few drinks hit quite like a tall glass of sweet iced tea on a warm afternoon, and this classic Southern version is as refreshing as it gets. The recipe keeps things beautifully simple — just water, black tea, and sugar — which makes it a naturally easy fit for anyone following a low-fiber or low-residue approach. There are no pulpy juices, seeds, or fibrous add-ins to worry about, just clean, smooth sweetness in every sip. Steeping the tea bags without squeezing them is a small but smart move that keeps the flavor mellow and balanced rather than bitter. The sugar dissolves right into the hot concentrate, so you end up with that perfectly smooth, Southern-style sweetness throughout the whole pitcher. Serve it over a glass packed with ice, and add a lemon slice or sprig of mint if your current dietary needs allow for those gentle garnishes.
