This is my first entry. I find it very fitting that this it my first topic. I am known as GRITS, girl raised in the south. I am from South Carolina and sweet tea is a must in my diet. Everybody has their own way of making it and I think I make a very nice pitcher of sweet tea. It is so good that I have my northener co-workers drinking it! I live in New Jersey now so I have to hold on to my roots! Here is how I make my sweet tea.
Items needed
4 family size tea bags
Tea pot filled with water
2 quart pitcher
1 1/4 cup sugar
Directions
Bring kettle to a boil and remove from heat. Add the tea bags and brew for exactly 4 minutes. Any longer and it will make the tea taste sour. Remove the tea bags. Pour the tea mixture in to the pitcher with the sugar. May sure the sugar completely melts. Then add water to taste. The more water you add the weaker the tea will taste. I then place in the frig and serve over ice. I have received compliments every time I make it.
