Momma Crase's Southern Sweet Tea

Sweet tea is a staple of the southern diet. And I have always thought my mom's tasted better than any restaurant or just about any other place you can get a tall glass of sweet tea. So I thought I would share her recipe with YOU!


Here is our very simple family recipe for Southern Sweet Tea:

What you will need:

A Pitcher
Water
9 regular teabags or 5 family size bags (Lipton Iced Tea)
Sugar

How to make Momma's Tea:

1.  Put 3/4 to 1 cup of sugar in the pitcher, depends on how sweet you want your sweet tea :)
2. Pour 7 cups of filtered drinking water into the pitcher, 
3. Stir water and sugar until sugar is dissolved, set pitcher aside.
4. Get tea bags ready.
5. Pour two cups of water in a small sauce pan.
6. Bring water to a boil.
7. Take saucepan off the stove.
8. Put tea bags in the water, submerge and let sit for 2 minutes and 30-45 seconds
9. Take tea bags out of water IMPORTANT: Don't squeeze bags out in saucepan just take out. Squeezing makes it bitter.
10. Pour contents of saucepan into pitcher and stir to combine.
11. Place sweet tea into the fridge and let cool.

And there you have it!!! The best and simplest sweet tea recipe I know!!
