Sweet Tea 101

I love sweet tea.  If you are ever at my house I will have a gallon of it in my fridge.  I thought I would tell you how I make my tea. First, I start with 3 family size tea bags and my small pot which I only use for tea. As you can tell I have tea stains in this pot because I use it so much.

 Remove the tags from the tea bags and put them in the water. Over medium high heat bring them to a rapid boil.

 

Add 1 1/2 cups of sugar to a gallon pitcher. Pour the hot tea in with the sugar and stir. Add water to fill to near the top.

Then pour in a glass and enjoy.  It is also better to store the tea in the fridge.
