This is another recipe that tastes just like Cracker Barrels'. Now that the weather is getting warm, I have been making this quite a bit!
Southern Sweet Tea
----------------------
2 large or 6 small tea bags
2 cups boiling water
1 cup sugar (use 1+1/4 cup for extra sweet tea)
1/8 tsp. baking soda
water
Combine tea bags and baking soda, pour boiling water over. Cover and steep tea bags for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place the sugar in a 2 qt. pitcher and set aside. Once tea has steeped for 15 mins., remove tea bags (do not squeeze them or tea will be bitter) and pour hot tea mixture over sugar in pitcher. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved. Add water to pitcher to make 2 qts. total. If top is foamy, skim foam off before serving. Serve over ice, store in fridge. Makes 2 quarts sweet tea.
