Sweet Tea
Perfect Sweet Tea. (makes 1 gallon)
(Adapted from the Lone Star Steak House) Ingredients - 5 - 8 Family size Tea Bags. (or 12 regular Tea Bags) ( I prefer #1 Luzianne or #2 Liptons Brand Teas.) 1 Quart (4 Cups) - Boiling Water 3 Quarts (12 cups) - Cool Water 1 1/2 - 2 (one & a half) - Cups Sugar. 1/4 teaspoon - Baking Soda (this IS the SECRET Ingredient!!) Directions - 1. Sprinkle baking soda into a pitcher (I use a gallon-size Mason Jar but many people have voiced concerns about pouring boiling water into a glass container, so use whatever container you'd like) Add Tea bags to the pitcher/baking soda, Pour Boiling water over tea bags, Cover and allow to steep for 15 minutes. ~*~ 2. Remove and toss out Tea Bags, Add Sugar and Stir until completely dissolved. Add Cool Water. Refrigerate until cold and ready to drink. ~*~ 3. Serve over ice, Take a nice long sip. Swoon. Repeat. |
