Sweet Tea

Awhile back I was looking for a sweet tea recipe. I didn't like anything I found so I made several batches and came up with a sugar-to-water-to-tea ratio. So the basic ratio is 40 grams of sugar, 8 ounces of water, and 1 regular tea bag. Before you freak out about grams and regular tea bags hear me out. If you use that ratio to make a gallon that is 650 g-128 oz-16 tea bags. Now know that there are 200 grams of sugar in a cup and 4 regular tea bags equals 1 family tea bag it becomes 3.25 cups- 1 gallon- 4 family size tea bags. This recipe is a little sweeter then what you would find in restaurants in BR, no offense they just don't make it right here. Enjoy.

I go two cups of sugar for a gallon of tea.

Luzianne is much better than Lipton for iced tea.
Burl Ives says so.

For 1 gallon, I usually use .5-1 cup of sugar and add honey to sweeten it up to taste.

That's basically how I make mine.
I boil the tea bags in a pot on the stove and let it sit for a little while after it boils. Then I add the sugar to make it like a syrup, kind of, then I add that to the water.
Now I believe I will make some, thanks.

It's now clear to me why I don't like the sweet I've had in Louisiana. 1 cup of sugar for a gallon of water that's not nearly sweet enough for me.

I like a day that's not cloudy - and a tea that's not cloudy.

Tea taste fine without sugar. Try it.

Massive amounts of Splenda can sometimes compensate, but not always!
