I'm from the South, and that's all we've ever drank in our house growing up. When the gallon tea pitcher is empty, you just make more. All my daughter's friends know that I have sweet tea and you can help yourself. The ones who are here often, make it when it's empty! It's easy peasy! I boil some water in my kettle (no exact amount, maybe half a gallon), when it whistles, pour it in the gallon pitcher. Add 1 and 1/2 cups sugar (remember I'm from the South and like my tea sweet, add what you like)! :) Stir the sugar in the hot water, add two Luzianne family size tea bags. Let it sit for about 15 mins (or until it's dark) fill the rest of the pitcher with water. Done!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05465262571915372220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402994615636107690.post-31297795152159945462013-05-12T22:37:00.498-04:002013-05-12T22:37:00.498-04:00Perfect!

You can buy like 50 bags of tea or more for like $1-2 and dissolve sugar or honey (or both if you are me) in it to sweeten it to your preference. Also I definitely need to tell you how I made my own caramel frappecino a couple weeks ago- mmmmmm :-)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943331771171976156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402994615636107690.post-84939664041017571602013-04-29T08:12:30.046-04:002013-04-29T08:12:30.046-04:00I think you will be surprised at how good just bre...I think you will be surprised at how good just brewing regular tea and then pouring it over ice can be (of course with lots of sugar). I think it tastes the same to be honest and of course then you can make it as sweet as you want it. I have never made it in the sun, so I can't attest to that. =)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07331115788919330777noreply@blogger.com
