Instant Pot Sweet Tea is absolutely delish. I am a really big fan of a cold glass of sweet tea. If you are a huge fan of a perfectly sweetened ice tea with honey and lemon, this is the recipe for you.
This was a fun recipe. It was just done to fool around with the (affiliate link) Instant Pot.
I spent many summers visiting my relatives in the South, and we would always sit outside and have a glass of cold sweet tea and a piece of the pie, whether it is pecan or peach pie.
My kids are also huge fans and there is nothing more budget-friendly than a glass of ice tea. After all, if you went to purchase this at the store, it would cost you a few dollars, but you are using nothing more than tea bags and water in this recipe.

Some Common Questions Asked About This Recipe-
Why do you use baking soda in the ice tea?
Baking soda is used a lot in sweet teas because it takes the bitterness, of the black tea. And it really makes for a smoother tea overall.
Just be sure to use baking soda and not baking powder.
How Long Is Brewed Ice Tea Good For In The Refrigerator?
After the Instant Pot makes the tea, let it cool to room temperature, pour it into a pitcher, and place it into the refrigerator.
It is best if used up within three days of brewing. If you have any leftover after the third day, dispose of it and brew another batch.
Tips For Making The Best Batch of Instant Pot Sweet Tea
- Use good quality tea bags, they make all of the difference.
