We live in the part of the country where people wave as they walk by because it is the nice thing to do, where ya'll is the way we made do with not have a plural form of you, where we close schools at the thought of snow because it is so foreign, and where the water we drink is actually tea. Tea, down in the south, the waiters don't ask if you want it sweet because that is the only way it is made.
But on that note... Sweet Tea needs to maintain it's tea form, not syrup which to me it often tastes. Fortunately I married a man who makes WONDERFUL tea. I don't touch the tea in this house, that is Will's domain and he does a fabulous job.
He starts with a mug of water and heats it up.
Then he adds 2 Lipton family size tea bags and lets it seep for at least 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes (or sometimes longer!) he pours the tea into a gallon size pitcher and adds 1 cup sugar.
Stir that up so the sugar dissolves, Then fill with water.
Chill and enjoy!
So, for those of you who don't live in the wonderful south (or those who are leaving--Eric and Mary!) you can now enjoy a wonderful taste of the south in your glass any time!
