With Sweet Tea!

Welcome to With Sweet Tea! Hey y'all! I am so incredibly glad you dropped by. Most of the dishes you'll find here are authentic Southern recipes that have been lovingly handed down through my family for generations. For a while now, a few sweet folks on Facebook have been begging me to start sharing them online. I always meant to get around to it, but it wasn't until my grandbabies asked me to write down all my recipes that I knew I had to finally sit down and make this blog a reality. Keepin' It Real & Simple. Now, please don’t expect anything fancy around here! I’m just a down-home Southern cook who was taught everything I know by my mother and grandmother. Some of these recipes you have probably heard of before, while others might be completely new to your kitchen. Either way, my biggest hope is that you find something here that you and your family just absolutely love. If you do find a recipe that hits the spot, please leave me a comment or drop me a line! I have always loved hearing from my readers, and your messages truly make my day. A Quick Note on How I Cook (The "Eyeball" Method)I have a little confession to make: I am one of those cooks who never measures anything. I have made these dishes so many times that I can tell exactly how much to use just by looking at it. If a recipe calls for a cup of sugar, I’m not going to pull out a measuring cup—I’m just going to dump in the amount that looks like a cup to me! Because I want you to find success in your own kitchen, I am trying my absolute best to convert my everyday cooking into exact measurements for you. But please don't stress over it! As long as you follow along somewhat closely, you won't mess it up. Let's Get Cooking! Relax! Cooking is supposed to be fun. So come on, stop reading, and let's go have some fun in the kitchen! I love y'all, and Jesus does too.

Southern Sweet Tea

 I think every southern refrigerator has a gallon of sweet tea in it. If it doesn't, it should! But I have noticed one thing with most people that make sweet tea. They are missing one key ingredient! Read on Sweetie.



To make Southern Sweet tea you will need,

1 gallon-sized tea bag

I cup of sugar ( Can add more if you like it really sweet.)

1/4 teaspoon of baking soda. (This makes your tea nice and dark!)

Ice


Put everything into a pot with water and boil. Once it boils sit it aside. Add some ice to your gallon jug, then pour your tea into the jug holding back the tea bag with a spoon. Give it a good stir. Add more water to your pot letting the water run over the teabag. Pour into your jug. Keep repeating until the jug is full. Throw out the teabag.

Pour over ice and enjoy a nice glass of dark sweet tea.
