My husband perfected his own sweet tea recipe to suit our tastes. It's very important to allow the tea to chill to develop the flavor.
Ingredients:
1 gallon water
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 family-size tea bags (we use luzianne)
Directions:
1. 1. Heat 2 quarts water to just below a simmer in a kettle.
2. 2. Remove from heat and add baking soda and tea-bags.
3. 3. Brew 10 minutes.
4. 4.Pour one cup sugar into a one-gallon pitcher.
5. 5. Pour hot tea over the sugar and stir until dissolved.
6. 6. Add cold water to fill the pitcher.
7. 7. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours before drinking.
