"Predominantly popular in the Southern parts of America, sweet tea is an ideal companion for a hot summer day. This icy drink features just three simple ingredients - black tea, sugar, and water. Black tea is steeped in water, sugar is added to the mix, and the resulting concentrate is diluted with more water, refrigerated (ideally at least for a night), and then drunk ice cold."
"Generally, sweet tea that's made at home will stay good for about a week in the fridge. However, if you want to make the most of its sweet, strong, and earthy flavor while it's still fresh, sweet tea tastes best till the four-day mark. You could even use up extra sweet tea to make juicy and flavorful fried chicken if you're running out of time to finish it before it spoils."
Sweet tea combines black tea, sugar, and water, with black tea steeped and a concentrate diluted with more water and refrigerated. Refrigerating the concentrate ideally for at least a night improves flavor. Homemade sweet tea generally remains safe in the refrigerator for about a week, though peak flavor occurs within four days. Leftover sweet tea can be repurposed in recipes, such as using it to make juicy, flavorful fried chicken. Store-bought sweet teas tend to stay fresh longer because of preservatives, but some brands use few preservatives, so checking the printed expiry date is advisable. Proper storage in tightly sealed plastic or glass airtight containers minimizes air exposure and bacterial risk.
