Note to self: Politely decline any offer of beverages at Bert's house. Consider the same at koalabear's house until an explanation is tendered.

Baking soda?

Yep, just a pinch. Suppose to kill any bitterness.

Recipe #2 Southern Sweet Iced Tea

Ingredients:
3 Family sized tea bags
a pinch baking soda (about 1/4 teaspoon)
1 to 1 1/3 cups of sugar

Directions:
Here is my never fail sweet tea...
Everyone (even yankees) loves it.

Bring 3-4 cups of water to a boil. Add a pinch of baking soda to the water and add 3 family sized tea bags. Remove from heat and cover. Allow to sit for at least 10-15 minutes. Pour into gallon pitcher and add sugar. Then fill with cold water. Refrigerate.

*the soda takes out the bitterness and darkens the tea....this small amount doesnt change the taste.

Never tried it though.

What about the sulfur in your water.

I live in the south, where sweet tea is a staple, and have never heard of adding baking soda, but I may give it a try today just to see if it works!

Not my issue.

 

[SexyWench]

hmmm
simple is best
boiled water
sugar

I've had no complaints

Real sweet tea should be made with simple syrup....not had sugar just added to the tea.


The simple sugar (equal parts water and sugar, heated slowly to dissolve the sugar into the water) is added to the steeped tea and can be flavored with lemon... if you like.


Just sayin

I no longer use the soda, I use 10 tea bags and 2 cups of sugar for each gallon. 2 gallon minimum in my fridge.

Yes sweet tea addicted. Simple syrup is the best with lemon. I will have to try the soda.

Yep... only a buck and low ice for me thanks. Then I re-use the giant cup for a while out of guilt. They wash easily.
