When I was pregnant with my oldest daughter I had the worst cravings for Chick Fil A Chicken Salad Sandwich I had to start making them at home because it was daily! But when I got it in store It was always with their Chick Fil A Sweet Tea, hands down! Have I mentioned I am kind of a Chick Fil A junkie? Yeah… I am. This is one of our favorite Chick Fil A Copycat Recipes.

I am a mom to 5 kids, homeschool mom, blogger, social media junkie, Frugalista, Book Worm, and Closet Want-to-be Chef. We are a Roadschool family (homeschooling on the road while traveling fulltime).
I grew up learning ways to save from my mom and grandma. I started my own coupon journey when my first child was born in 2009 and started the blog on 2010 when baby #2 was born to share my tips with everyone who kept asking about how I was getting diapers for $1 a pack!

Yum! This is the best.
This might be a silly question, but as I’ve never made sweet tea before, you just use Lipton black tea? Looks amazing, can’t wait to try!
No silly questions! Yes, I use the black tea and the big family size bags when I make a big batch for the fridge.
Does this make a whole gallon?
Yes, I use a gallon-sized pitcher and even that doesn’t last long around my house!
If they don’t have the family size bags how many of the regular ones do you use?
My question is the same as Ashley’s- if you don’t have family size bags how many?
Ok..I’m a huge CFA tea fan. Like, I get one everyday. It’s my coffee (I don’t drink coffee). I’ve tried to make my own tea a million times and never get it right. Now that we may have to be on lockdown with this virus, I need to be able to make my own tea it CFA closes all the way. This recipe is so good!! I had another brand of tea bags and used a little less sugar. It tastes great! Thank you!!!
How many tea bags did you use? We are on lockdown and I’m with you, I need my sweet tea!
Does this make 2qts or a gallon? Directions say pour in 2 qt pitcher and then in comments it’s stated it makes a gallon? Just a lil confused,, and in lockdown also, need my sweet tea LOL Thanks
When you are making the tea (letting it steep) you want to use the smaller 2 quart container because it will be concentrated. Once the tea has steeped (after the first 15 minutes) you will pour that into the gallon container and fill the rest of the way with water. I hope that helps it is a gallon of finished tea.
