Ingredients
- FOR THE SIMPLE SYRUP:
- ¾ cups Granulated Sugar
- ¾ cups Water
- FOR THE TEA:
- 10 cups Water, Divided
- 6 Regular Sized Black Tea Bags
- 1 pinch Baking Soda
- Ice, As Needed

Preparation
For the simple syrup:
Mix sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and allow to boil for about 5–7 minutes. You’ll notice the mixture will reduce. Remove from heat and pour into a heatproof bowl and set aside to cool.
For the tea:
In the same saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Remove the pot from the range and place on a trivet. Add tea bags and baking soda. Steep for 5–6 minutes.
Remove tea bags without squeezing. Add simple syrup and stir.
Pour into a pitcher and add remaining 7 cups water. Serve over ice with lemon slices.
