My Real Southern Sweet Tea










Ingredients

  • 6 Large ( Family-Sized) bags Tea ( Luizianne if you want the good stuff!)
  • 2 C water
  • 1 1/2 C Sugar or Splenda
  • 2 lemons

Directions

  1. In a large pot add water and tea bags and bring to a boil.

  2. After it comes to a rolling boil allow it to continue for 1 minute then remove from heat.

  3. Squeeze tea bags out and toss them.

  4. Pour hot tea into a large pitcher.

  5. Add sugar/splenda and stir well.

  6. Fill pitcher the rest of the way with cold water slowly, stirring the entire time.

  7. Make sure to leave enough room for lemons if you want them in the pitcher.

  8. Allow Sweet Tea to refrigerate for as long as you can. It ferments in the fridge as the sugar dissolves even more and the lemons sweeten the tea.

  9. Use remaining lemon for individual drink slices.

  10. ENJOY !

  11. *Note: Using Splenda and Decaffinated Luizianne will allow you to consume as much of this as you would like, totally guilt-free and without staying up all night.

  1. I love the title of your blog. I need to think of a different one for mine. Mine's not very original. Lydia Burton/Gawthrop has a blogspot. She has pictures up of her new baby. Its www.gawthrops.blogspot.com. She's so cute! She was born two months early so she's very tiny. She looks just like Tristan!
