Ms. Lisa Southern Sweet Tea

Category: Recipes

3 bags - Lipton Ice Tea Brew
2 cups - water (boil)
1-1/4 cups sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 - gallon container.

Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan/small pot. After the water comes to a boil, remove from heat.

Put in 3 bags of Lipton Ice Tea Brew (I like to tie the strings together and hang them over the side of the pot so I can pull them out all at once.) Add the baking soda. Swish the tea bags around just a little and let sit for 15 to 20 minutes.

Afterwards, remove tea bags from pot and put the tea into your container. Add the sugar and stir until all sugar is melted. Add water to the container while continuously stirring.

Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving or add ice to a glass and serve immediately.
