Re: Sweet iced tea help
not southern but my moms recipe - boil ~3qts water to rolling boil, turn off heat and add 4-5 teabags (she usually uses lipton). let sit one hr, put 3/4c sugar (more if you like more, or less, to suit taste) in bottom of 1gal pitcher. remove tea bags and squeeze out excess, dump tea in pitcher, stir, add water to fill and refridgerate. serve over ice if not cold when wanted. can also add lemon to pitcher with the water.
