Southern Sweet Tea
6 cups boiling water
3 family-sized lipton tea bags or 6 regular tea bags
1 cup sugar
Ice
Steep the tea bags in in the boiling water for about 10 minutes. Remove the tea bags and pour into a half-gallon sied pitcher. Stir in the sugar until completely dissolved. Add ice until the pitcher is full. The ice will melt as it cools the tea. Serve cold with fresh ice.

Oh my goodness this looks good! This Southern girl knows exactly how great it is. Yum!!
not sure i've ever measured my sugar....does one cup make it super sweet??
that's how i LOOOOVE it...the boy does not.
I think I use WAY more than 1 cup!!
This looks so refreshing!
Wow. Your photos are amazing. I don't think I've ever had true Southern sweet tea.
I'd love to sit on that front porch and sip on that wonderful tea!
Cheers,

mmmm...my hubs has been craving this lots lately so I think I may throw caution to the wind and get out my sugar jar. ; )
I put half a cup of sugar in per quart and it always turns out perfect.
Oh, sweet tea...my life's blood. Without it I would die. Mine is 3 bags to 4 quarts of water, sweetened with 1-1/2 cups sugar. If the preacher is coming, I up it to two cups of sugar. It makes your teeth ache, but there is simply nothing more Southern than sweet tea. It's a religious experience!
I'm stuck on your site and plan to devour it. Thanks for sharing!
Ellie a marvelous sweet blood.
I'd try it because here isn’t traditional to drink ice cold tea :)
Cheers!

Great shots! Love the rocking chair one! I love iced tea - but only when it's homemade. The store bought ones are far too sweet!
Hi- I found your blog through a search for sweet tea and porches and got this particular entry. I was wondering might I use your rocking chair picture for the background to my blog, I'll make sure to let everyone know it is yours.
Love you blogs by the way, adding you.
