Instant Pot Sweet Tea
Ingredients
- 2 qt (8 cups) Water
- 2 qt (8 cups) COLD Water (separated)
- 3-4 Family Sized Lipton Iced Tea Bags
- 2 cups of Sugar
- Pinch of Baking Soda
Steps
- Cut the tags off the tea bag strings and tie them all together (makes it super easy to remove them when done)
- Place all ingredients (2 qt water, tea bags, sugar, baking soda) into Instant Pot
- Lock the lid and make sure the pressure valve is set to sealed
- Press the MANUAL button and set to 4 minutes HIGH pressure
- When it beeps, do a quick release so the tea doesn’t sit for too long
- Stir the tea and remove the bags
- Pour the 2 qt cold water into a pitcher (I use 2 big growlers for this — 1 qt/4 cups each)
- Evenly fill up the rest of the growler/pitcher with the tea
- Refrigerate until it’s nice and cold
- Boomski
* Side Note:
You can go Lucille’s style and serve it with a sprig of mint
