Bring 8 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Remove from heat and add 6 tea bags. Let it steep for 5-7 minutes.
Remove the tea bags and add 1 cup of sugar to the pot. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Add 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese to the pot and stir until the cheese melts.
Add 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice to the pot and stir until well combined.
Let the mixture cool down to room temperature.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Serve over ice cubes and garnish with fresh mint leaves (optional).

Recipe Notes:

Use high-quality cheddar cheese for the best flavor and texture.
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best taste.
Let the mixture cool down to room temperature before straining it to prevent the cheese from clumping up.
Chill the mixture for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Adjust the sweetness and tanginess of the drink according to your preference by adding more or less sugar and lemon juice.
For an extra refreshing twist, add fresh mint leaves to the drink before serving.
The drink can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Special Tips:

To make a larger batch, simply double or triple the recipe ingredients accordingly.
For a festive touch, add some colorful fruit slices or garnish with edible flowers.
Enjoy the Texas Sweet Tea Cheddars Recipe in moderation as it is high in sugar.
