hey ya'll today i'm gonna answer some questions about sweet tea yes ( tha house wine of the south ) any southerner's home you walk into the first thing you hear is hey ya'll come on in, yall want some tea ... now for you northerner's we aint hatin we just stick with what we know i been up north lots and lots of times and i love it up thar but ya'll aint got sweet tea or grit's which is probably why i just visit... sweet tea to us is like cake to a fat kid ... and fat kid's i know love cake well cause i is one ... tea is drank in good time's and bad, happy time's, sad time's, and it's always the first thing you make sure there's enough of when ya all get together now when we say " ya'll want some tea we aint talking bout hot in a fancy china cup tea we mean cold full of sugar tea the kind you pour out of a Tupperware pitcher that's been used for years and has probably got stains in it so bad that even pure Clorox wont take it out ... so here's a lesson on how to make tea
#1 place 5 to 8 tea bags (or 2 family size ) in a pot of cold water bring to a rolling boil( bout 1 1/2 quart's )
# while that boiling fill ya pitcher with half full of cold water and add sugar to taste ( i use 2 c. per gallon)
#3 after the tea has boiled bout 7 mins ( give or take ) pour it into your water and sugar this will dissolve the sugar and ya'll got perfect tea
now i put lemon in mine, but not everybody likes lemon but that's how granny did it and that the way i been drinking it all my life i even think it was put in my baby bottle as an infant so now ya'll know how we make sweet tea ... so fix ya a gallon and sit down with a good cook book and enjoy some me time !
