    A much easier way - just add 3/4 to 1 cup of sugar to the warm pitcher of tea. Making simple syrup is fine if you are sweetening just one glass but too much work for a pitcher.

    Like everyone else I keep this in the frig all summer. When I'm eating out If the restaurant doesn't have sweet tea, I get the folks to put about 2" of lemonade in the bottom of a glass then fill with unsweentened tea .
