I am not from the South but I spent the summer of 2006 in Virginia and
have been a lover of sweet tea ever since. I am constantly trying to make tea
at home that tastes like the restaurant tea I got there, it’s never quite
right, but this recipe is pretty good.
What you need:
8 Family Size Tea Bags. (or 12 regular Tea Bags) I prefer Luzianne
4 Cups Boiling Water
2 Cups Sugar
¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
How to make it:
Boil water in a large glass measuring cup, add baking soda and tea
bags, cover (my Pampered Chef measuring cup has a cover but I have several that
don’t so if I use one of those I cover it with one of those stretchy plastic
wrap style covers) and steep for 15 minutes, remove tea bags, pour tea into a 1
gallon container (I use a gallon size glass jug), add sugar and stir until
completely dissolved, add cool water until container is full, serve over ice.
