I'd never heard of "Sweet Tea" until we lived in KY and TN...then I realized that my Grandma had been making this my whole life...(she was from KY...duh?) It's so good on a hot day, and so much better than the stuff from a jar!
1. Pour the sugar into a large pitcher. Bring water to a boil in a large pan. When the water begins to boil, remove from the heat, and place the teabags in. Let steep for 5 to 6 minutes.
2. Remove tea bags, and return tea to the heat. Bring just to a boil, then pour into the pitcher, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Fill the pitcher half way with ice, and stir until most of it melts. Then fill the pitcher the rest of the way with cold water, and stir until blended.
