Sweet Tea

Hello, My name is Laura Jones, and I'm an addict.

I can not think of anything better than sweet tea...like the good stuff from the South.  McCalister's Deli has the best I have ever found.  When my friend Christina and I went to Destin, FL for a winter escape to the beach, the only thing in our fridge was 2 gallons of McCalister's sweet tea.

Now that my travel is on hiatus for a while, I decided to try making my own.  Oh Em Gee.  I enlisted the help on technique from my new friend, Elizabeth, who is from Louisiana... prime sweet tea land.

So, my friends, I give to you the yummiest, easiest, you-will-drink-a-gallon-in-a-day sweet tea recipe:

Sweet As La Tea

2 family sized Luzianne tea bags
1 cup of sugar
1 gallon of water

1. Put tea bags into gallon pitcher.  
2. Boil a quart of water and pour over tea bags.  
3. Let sit for 10 minutes.  
4. Remove tea bags.  
5. Add cup of sugar and stir until sugar melted.  
6. Add more water (from the tap, doesn't need to be boiled) until you reach a gallon.  
7. Refrigerate overnight.
8. Hide from your sweetheart so you don't have to share.  LOL
