Brewed at the top of the stairs in the sunshine
Sweet tea in the Southern states of the US is a refreshing year round drink. It is served just about everywhere, and you will never get charged for a refill 🙂
Easy way to make, this recipe is from luzianne.com
What you’ll need:
- 4 Luzianne® Family Size Iced Tea bags
- 1 gallon of spring water or filtered water
- 1 clear glass gallon container with cover or cap
- 1 cup of granulated sugar, or to taste (optional)
- Optional garnishes: sprig of mint or thyme, lemon or orange wedge
What to do:
- Place tea bags in gallon jar and fill with water; place cover or cap loosely on jar
- Place jar in direct sunshine
- Steep tea for 3 to 4 hours (do not exceed 4 hours)
- Remove tea bags
- Sweeten warm tea, if desired (do not add sweetener until steeping is finished)
- To serve, pour into glasses packed with ice and serve with sugar, lemon, lime or mint
- Refrigerate tea in an airtight container within 1 hour of brewing
- Discard leftover tea after 24 hours
Cold sweet tea has never really taken off here, guess our summers are not hot enough!
