Tips:
- Choose the right tea. Black tea or green tea can be used to make sweet tea syrup, but black tea is the traditional choice. Some popular black teas for sweet tea include:
- Earl Grey
- English Breakfast
- Orange Pekoe
- Use fresh, cold water. Boiling water can extract bitter tannins from the tea, so it's important to use fresh, cold water when brewing the tea.
- Sweeten the tea to your taste. The amount of sugar you add to the tea will depend on your personal preference. You can also use other sweeteners, such as honey or agave nectar.
- Let the tea cool completely before adding it to the syrup. This will help to prevent the syrup from becoming cloudy.
- Store the syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
