Sweet tea
Posted: Thu Jan 10, 2008 11:15 pm
Working on the road and having people from above the Mason dixon line visit at our house I have come to understand that the housing market and Iraq are not this nations biggest problems. It is the lack of sweet tea and people that know how to make it.
McDonalds is not the answer this puts your sweet tea fedish in the hands of a huge Corpertation and can change the way they make it or do away with it at any time. So here it goes
1st you need tea bags to each there own but we use Lipton and you want to use 3 family size tea bags to a gallon of sweet tea
Next you need a small metal pot( I have one from Brazil that a man gave me to make Cuban coffee in about one quart in size) I have had mine for 4 years now the more you use it the better the tea will be
Boil your water is said pot and turn off heat add tea bags and let stoop( not sure if that is the right spelling for that word) if you forget about it dont worry tea wont go bad if there is not sugar in it.
HERE IS WHERE IS GETS TRICKY
Fla and the yankee State add 1 cup sugar to gallon of tea and water
Ga and Alabama add 1 and half cups of sugar to tea and water and O yeah most of Kentucky
Mississippi Texas Va WVa and South Carolina add 2 cups of sugar to you tea and water
LASTLY IF YOU LIVE IN THE MOUNTAIN TEEW North Ga and South west Va and the whole state of Tn and North Car ADD 2 1/2 TO 3 CUPS OF SUGAR ....to you water and tea if it pours easlily add more sugar
Hope this helps anyone on a sweet tea fix and wasnt sure How to cure it
