Homemade Sweet Tea
Sweet tea is a southern staple driving, often cannot find it north of the Mason Dixon Line.
To set the record straight adding sugar to iced tea is not the same. The sugar must be added when the tea is hot. Sugar dissolves better in hot liquid. If the liquid is cold, it makes a gritty drink.

Here is a list of 40 uses for used tea bags.
My sweet tea
Usually when I make my sweet tea, I use one family tea bag per half gallon and 1 ½ cups of sugar. (2 family tea bags and 3 cups of sugar for a gallon). But I do like my sweet tea sweet. But not too sweet.
It is estimated 1 lb. Of sugar is about 2 1/4 cups of sugar (+/-).
Usually it takes 2 tea bags per half gallon (4 per gallon). But I use only one and brew it longer.
Did you know most of your premade teas at the store will use corn syrup instead of sugar. Plus they add Carmel color. One tea that doesn’t it Milo’s.
