Instructions
Set a pot with 2 cups of sugar and 2 cups of water over medium until the sugar dissolves. The water should begin a slow simmer at this point. Remove it from the heat and set it aside to cool slightly then add the lemon juice.
In a separate pot, add the remaining sugar and 2 cups of water to a pot along with the tea bags. Secure the strings to the pot handles. Once the sugar dissolves, remove it from the heat and allow the tea to steep for 10 minutes or more before removing the bags.
In a gallon container, pour the cooled tea and lemon syrups followed by the lemon slices, ice, and water. Give it a good stir and it’s ready to serve.
