Bring 14 cups water to a rolling boil
Add tea bags and lower to medium heat
Stir in sugar
Let steep for 20 minutes
Remove tea bags
Remove from heat and allow to cool (this will take a couple of hours but you can speed up the process by changing the container and putting the tea in the fridge)
To serve, cut up one lime and add it to a pitcher
Pour sweet tea into pitcher, leaving room for booze (unless you will add to servings)
Add a few mint leaves
Serve over ice with mint and lime in each glass
