Remove the tea bags and stir in 1/4 cup granulated sugar while the tea is still warm, mixing until the sugar dissolves completely.
Allow the sweetened tea to cool to room temperature, or place it in the refrigerator for quicker cooling.
Once the tea is cool, pour it into a large pitcher and add 1.5 cups of pineapple juice. Stir to combine.
