To prepare, bring a specified amount of water to a boil, then pour it over the tea bags in a heatproof pitcher. Allow the tea to steep for the recommended time, usually a few minutes, to achieve the desired strength. Remove the tea bags and stir in your preferred amount of sweetener, such as sugar or simple syrup, until dissolved. Once sweetened, add cold water and ice to chill the tea. This method ensures a smooth, consistent flavor for a large batch.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to regular-sized tea bags, these family-size bags contain more tea leaves, allowing for a stronger brew suitable for larger volumes. The blend is also specifically formulated to complement the addition of sweeteners, creating the characteristic flavor profile of Southern sweet tea.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store the remaining tea bags in their original packaging in a cool, dry place. Ensure the container is sealed tightly to maintain freshness and prevent the tea from absorbing odors. This will help preserve the quality and flavor of the tea for future use.
