SOUTHERN SWEET ICED TEA

This is how my Granny made sweet tea and it is some kind of sweet. Know that and beware. Pa-Paw used to down 2-3 glasses after working in the garden all day. Back off the sugar if you can't handle it. This one is for true southerners only ;)

REAL SOUTHERN SWEET TEA

If I'm working, which is to say I'm not drinking anything strong because I'm focused on winning a competition, I don't drink anything besides sweet tea. I love sweet tea, truly. It's the drink of the South, the drink of my home. Here's how we do it.

Steps:

  • Bring 1 quart of water room-temperature to a boil in a saucepan. Pour the boiling water into a pitcher or large bowl, add the loose tea, and let steep for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • In the meantime, fill a large pitcher (large enough to hold at least 2 quarts of liquid) with the remaining 1 quart room-temperature water.
  • Strain the brewed tea into the pitcher containing the room-temperature water. Discard the tea leaves. Set the pitcher aside.
  • In a small nonreactive pot, combine the sugar and cold water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the lemons and remove from the heat. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Strain the lemon-sugar syrup into the pitcher. Discard the lemon slices. Refrigerate the sweet tea until serving time.

1 ounce (2 tablespoons) loose black tea
2 quarts room-temperature water
5 cups sugar
1 quart cold water
6 lemons, sliced
