Sweet Tea Recipes

Well, I don't know where you are visiting us from but no matter, everyone

can enjoy a good glass of sweet tea.

Here, you'll find sweet tea recipes, articles about sweet tea, and even a video to show you how to make sweet tea.

So just what is sweet tea?

There are basically two types of iced teas in the United States. The only thing that makes them different is one has sugar and the other doesn't.

Southerners (including me) love their sweet tea and drink it by the gallon.

Here in the South, sweet tea isn't just a something we drink during the summertime, we drink it year round with most meals. When people order tea in a Southern restaurant, it's almost a given you'll get sweet tea.

Outside of the south, really the southeast, iced tea is served unsweetened or “black”. Most people won't know what you are talking about if you ask for sweet tea.

On a recent trip to Texas I went to a fabulous BBQ joint. I got my plate and told them I wanted sweet tea to drink. From the reaction, you would have thought I was from another planet!

Well, I'm out to change that...

Here's the sweet tea recipe we used to made the tea in the video:

3 Quarts water (give or take) not that important.

2 cups Sugar

4 Quart size tea bags.

Bring water to a rolling boil, add sugar. (Stir to dissolve)

Add 4 tea bags. Stir. Let sit 20 minutes or so.

Pour up into gallon jug or container. Fill the rest with cool water.
