Nitrate & Nitrite Free Southern Sweet Iced Tea

Sweet, refreshing, and deeply Southern, this iced tea is the kind of drink that makes a hot afternoon feel like a celebration. The method is simple but thoughtful — steeping the bags without squeezing them keeps the flavor smooth and mellow rather than bitter, and dissolving the sugar into the hot concentrate means every sip is perfectly balanced from top to bottom. When it comes to processed beverages and flavored drinks, hidden additives can be a real concern, but this recipe uses nothing but water, tea, and sugar, so you know exactly what's going into your glass. No preservatives, no artificial anything — just clean, classic sweet tea the way it was always meant to be made. A squeeze of lemon or a sprig of fresh mint takes it from everyday to genuinely special, though it's honestly wonderful all on its own over a tall glass of ice.
