Southern Sweet Tea

Every gal in the south has her own way of making sweet tea. We’re pretty proud about it too actually. Around my house we like our tea strong and sweet. So if you ever have trouble getting your tea just right each and every time, give this a try. Ingredients

• 3 family size tea bags
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 gallon water
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

1. Boil only ½ gallon of the water on stove.
2. Once water comes to a roiling boil, pour into one gallon pitcher.
3. Add 3 tea bags and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda (you don’t need to stir).
4. Set your kitchen timer (I use my microwave) for 15 minutes.
5. After 15 minutes, take out tea bags.
6. Do not squish tea bags before taking them out, just let them drip for a minute.
7. If you do that, you’re likely to get some tea leaves in your drink.
8. Add sugar and stir.
