Ok, that's what I'm talkin' about. This is the Southern Sweet Tea I remember. I have been trying to duplicate this for years. Ok, decades. I'm having a glass right now. Thanks a bunch!!!

Hey on the pop tarts, the secret to making a great pop tart is to use a toaster. Shhhhh.

[@kernelxsanders]

actually the secret is the freezer, but don't tell anybody because it's secret.

[@AF-ge7es]

I have never toasted my pop tarts before

[@BakerClan]

You can also buy a can of peaches and pour the syrup into the tea for the peach tea lovers

[@invinoveritas6859]

Now why didn't i think of that ? Thanks BC !!! 😁

[@ericmgarrison]

All my great aunts swore to the powers of the soda added to the tea for clarity and taste. It’s like the trick of a dash of salt on your coffee grinds before you start your machine.

[@Akula114]

A big Roger That on the salt in coffee. If you're resistant, just put some on the tip of your finger and add that. Tiny amount. Pretty soon I think it helps you enjoy any coffee, any where. Rather than being picky, I just compare the different tastes to what I enjoy at home. I just learned that a couple or three small drops of water keep the grounds from sticking in the grinder. (A problem with the little hand held Braun-type electric). Now that I'm beginning to enjoy tea, I can't wait to try the baking soda! I can see how that might prevent the caffeine and the tannic acid from forming that cloudy precipitate. Dang, the last time I tried to make iced tea with no proper Southern instruction it ended looking like muddy chocolate milk... I kept expecting a frog to jump out. I appreciate all the comments, funny or informative. Cheers!

Literally every southern family does it differently from the next. I learned to place 3 bags in a medium sized bowl of water and microwave then put 3 quarts of water in a pitcher and mix it all together with a lot of sugar. Im sure everyone would agree that nothing beats sweet tea from mcdonalds though.

[@bridgettfloyd9585]

This video really helped me how to make tea. thanks!

[@greenturtle577]

I've noticed that when you add something acidic to tea, it loses some of it's beautiful color. By adding Baking Soda, I believe you are making the water more alkaline, which makes the color of the tea more beautiful. I just learned this from your video. Thanks.

[@LiptonEN]

Thanks for sharing! 💛

[@360HEADSHOT100]

I’ve been using this method for over 5 years now. It always comes out so perfect!

we steep tea with a pinch of salt. we make a lemonade or limeade with sugar (I use stevia) then add steeped tea to that. Special Note: when preparing lemonade/limeade add sweetener first and mix well then squeeze lemon / lime.

@tchase0704 The Southern Sweet Tea recipe makes 16 servings. Enjoy!

[@TankP0wnz]

yummy stuff! i used the Lipton Cold Brew teabags, and it tastes great.

[@cfroi08]

Sugar is a secret ingredient because everyone knows Southern sweet tea is already brewed with love.

[@anniegoens]

i drank this tea in Monroe La, a few weeks ago and AM looking for it in Neb, the most wonderful tea I have tasted !!! No actual sugar ,wonderful flavor and very southern. REMINDS ME OF WHEN I WAS A GIRL LIVING IN THE SOUTH ON A HOT AFTERNOON, SITTING UNDER A SHADE TREE AND ENJOYING THE COOLNESS OF FLAVOR

[@kiyoponnn]

"Coolness of flavor" You should write poetry, no joke

[@gabyibarra1807]

i just tried this recipe and i love it!!! ive always been a green tea fanatic but ive recently been into sweet tea , this is not too much sugar i mean its called sweet tea for a reason :) i cant stand it when some sweet tea tastes salt like or bitter, i dont know exactly how to describe it but, i have a sweet tooth so theres no such thing as too much sugar . thank you (:

[@Soxruleyanksdrool]

First off, if you steep the tea bags in the water OFF the stove top as the recipe suggests, then there is ZERO chance the tags fall onto the burner and ignite. We don't need to take precautions for something that, in this case, cannot possibly happen. Second off, I have always heard that southern sweet tea is traditionally served at room temperature with ice on the side. I guess I was wrong about this.

[@drrd4127]

We have ice tea in the UK but we don't use as much sugar so it tastes more like tea than sugar sometimes, we make Ice tea with soaked dried fruit, that's the best.

[@sohaibahmed226]

Thank you I will try this recipe later on. It's getting old always going to mcdonalds or somewhere and buy it time to make my own

[@LiptonEN]

@vision1023 We are happy to hear that, thanks for sharing!

[@jbuffnola]

Love it. Thank you

[@Appoggitura]

I'm from the south and I must agree that sweetness is subjective. We have always used the Kool-Aid guidelines. It recommends 1 cup of sugar per 2 quarts, so for a gallon that would be 2 cups of sugar. I have been known to use as many as 3 cups of sugar especially when making really strong tea and using a few extra tea bags. Also, Ice dilutes the flavor and sweetness, so we compensate for that. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and their own tastes. Enjoy; however you like your tea! :-)

[@Jayden-we9ie]

"even yankees will love"😂😂

[@dosbox907]

been my go to recipe for years yall

[@MrJobe007]

Now that is how you introduce the tea bags to the hot water. There are a lot of videos showing tea bags in the cold water and bring to a boil. That makes bitter tea. Good Job Ladies.

[@chriswagoner2007]

I like how it took two people to do one person's job every step of the way. Did anyone else notice how she didn't stir that lemon into her tea and just took a big sip of lemon juice off the top at the end?

[@Chief_Handler_is_better_than_U]

Well, they're women.

[@Kimyxo]

[@pugwash84]

Lipton tea bags are one of the best to make sweet tea because they tend to be stronger x I can't use some of the cheaper brands for sweet tea because they don't work as good

Just follow the instructions. 1st I either use 2 160z bottled water or with the same 1 gallon pitcher use the 1 quarts measurements, into an electric or stove Kettle, add the 1 gallon tea bag, boil for 3 to 5 minutes, then pour it into the 1 gallon empty pitcher, 2 cups of sugar and 2 single serve packets of True Lemon, stir and put inside fridge. Enjoy everyday.
