That is the way my mother and grandmother made the tea but they would add a little more water to it to make it less strong very good
I am a born & raised Southerner. You made strong and very sweet ice tea. I would added 1 cup of sugar or a little less than a cup. I also would have filled the pitcher up to almost the full line. I personally
use family size tea bags. I use cold water & then add the tea bags and when the water boils I cut off the
stovetop and let steep 5-10 minutes depending on how strong you want your tea. I then remove the tea bags. See instructions at the beginning of this comment. Refrig for several hours or overnight. I realize everyone makes their tea different but this is a great way to make tea.
That's the way I do mine excatly .I do not like boiled teabags but I also would not water it down with all that ice like she did. You just add water ,and splenda for me.and or suger of course .hate stevia now thats bitter yuk.
Carol Church you got diabetes?
Carol Church stevia or any other kind of sweetener substitute is a sin
Aiden Miller I use Splenda too cause I did weight loss surgery and any little sugar is sin to my stomach now
I make my mommas southern sweet tea , I just fill up my pan , let the water start to boil, put my tea bags in to finish up the peak , put my tea in my glass pitcher, sugar, fill with cold water , stir and bam . Delicious sweet tea . My momma old southern sweet tea .
My mom and I always drank hot tea. What she would do is save the tea bags in a glass in the refrigerator and used them to make sweet tea. Of course you need a little more tea bags since they have already been used but the whole idea is a lot of the tannic acid which causes the bitterness is gone and the iced tea comes out phenomenal. thank you for the vid BTW....hearing what a tea lover you are I want to recommend a tea that is the best around. I have tried many different types of black teas, mostly Assam but the one I am stuck on to the point where I will drink nothing else is Lipton Yellow Label loose tea. When you brew it, it has an orange foam on top and brews up really dark. They make Lipton Yellow Label as bagged tea as well if you don't use loose tea. Enjoy!
The only thing I do like you is boil water remove from heat put in your tea bags, but not that many. And let it sit for 15 min. Add 1 cup of sugar to the hot mix. Then add to pitcher and fill it up with water. Couple things my aunt from Oklahoma taught me was never boil tea bags and never pinch the bags into the water because that will make your tea bitter. My tea taste like sun tea every time.
This video help me alot on how to make tea. thanks! ☺
Bridgett Floyd please watch some other videos, you’ll get a much better result
why don't you add water too fill the pitcher up?
First off, it has to be Luzianne tea. Nothing else. Luzianne. It's what Southerners drink.
I bring 8 cups of water to a boil, once it's at a rolling boil, I take it off of the heat immediately. I let it sit for 30 seconds to a minute, and place 4 Luzianne family sized tea bags into the water. I let it sit for around 5 minutes, sometimes 6 or 7. I usually pour mine into a gallon jug, which i've already added 1 cup of sugar to ahead of time. I pour the hot tea in slowly, and then share the jug to help dissolve and stir it. I then fill the jug with cold water, and shake some more, and put it in the refrigerator. 4 bags in 8 cups of water for 5 minutes, with 1 cup of sugar is just right for a gallon of tea.
Trying this today.
I put Splenda in my tea pitcher and pour the hot tea in and stir and add water also I put tea bags in the pot of water and boil then let sit saves time that way
Southern tea is made with cold water at the end. Northerners use ice.
I make it with cold water myself, but my mother who was from Alabama used ice. It doesn't much matter when everything else we did is the same. It still drinks refreshingly.
Thems fightin words, son. Northerns do not use ice.
They use Arnold Palmer cans. M.
sugar goes in cold water n pitcher 1st to avoid bitterness. then add tea to water. stir. pour over ice in glass and serve.
a bit of baking soda can remover bitterness
Hello new subscriber from East TN...😊
I make my tea also by melting my sugar in the hot tea, but I only use 3/4 cup. I also pour it over ice, about half the pitcher of ice, and finish it with cold water, and always make it in the early morning so it's good and cold. It's sweet, but not too sweet.
I think it's better to boil some of the Té with the sugars by separately and then when it's all dissolved put it back 😉
20 minutes?! Good Lord!
This lady has some better tea making habits,,, my sweetheart and I use only one cup sugar,, and Family size bags,
I love my Sweet Southern Ice Tea.
Is that a gallon? I use a cup and a third of sugar for a gallon of tea. I was born in Savannah Georgia and have lived in the South my whole life. I've been making tea for over 60 years and love it maybe as much as you do.... your accent does not sound like a southern person so I'm delighted that you like tea made the southern way.
I would love to subscribe 'down below'!
I love this girl.
You poor thing...NO NO NO...Help her lord she just doesn't know either....
I use Luzianne much better flavor, The way I make it is boil a pan of probably 6 cups water, Take off the heat get a long handled spoon tie tea bags together up at the top right under the paper put in 9 or10 tea bags let steep 5 min(can make tea bitter if l steeped longer)put some water in a pitcher with 3/4 cup sugar stir until dissolved Take tea bags out of pan separate the string and put a long handled spoon through the strings have pitcher handy take the spoon with the bags put on top of pitcher so bags can drip
FYI Never use hot water to cook with, it comes from a nasty hot water tank. There is a lot of sediment in there that don't want to ingest.
You don't boil your water first
This is the weirdest way I seen somebody make ice tea
You are so cute hun I wish you still did videos
What kind of tea brand
Lipton.. buy the family size bags. Only takes 3 family size bags per 1 gallon.
This ladys man is one lucky son of a gun!!!!!
With more than 2.5 cups of sugar per gallon, I don't think it's a caffeine high you've experienced. It's a sugar buzz. Dang sure puts the emphasis on "sweet", like liquid candy, heh!
I'm new to making my own sweet tea. But this really seemed like too much, so I made a full gallon with "only" one cup of sugar. It's plenty sweet for my taste and I may reduce that to 3/4ths cup for my next gallon.
2 cups is normal amount of sugar in the south. anything less then 2 cups in consider unsweetened tea
The more sugar the better
Did you just turn off and on the water to fill your cups?😜😂😂😂👌🛌
Use family size bags don’t have to unwrap as much
Girl you ain't a bit Southern. We don't make it like that. You must be from Minnesota 🤪😂
The South didn’t invent sugar and tea or the combination of the two. They have the same thing north and west of the Mason Dixon line for Pete’s sake. And people can cook there too!!!
@Jay Rock Respect is so over used that it has lost its true meaning because it is used like a discarded snotty tissue. I don’t have to get over anything. I stand by my statement so you get over it. I live in the south and it does not give me superior credentials or credibility as a cook or chef but my skills do.
@Jay Rock and you are a robot posing as an argumentative idiot.
A pinch of baking soda will illuminate the bitterness in tea. This can be done when sugar is added. Adding a pinch of baking soda also helps to see thru the tea when poured into a glass. A trick most restaurants use. Try it!
Being true blue raised from the south being able to see through your tea southern people don’t like weak tea here in Alabama
You should never pour hot liquid towards you.
Lord help this girl she does not know how to make southern tea
Just because you move to the south , doesn't make you Southern !! Just saying :)
You dont pronounce the "H" in Spanish words.
Keaton Row it's a play off my last name Haas.
You definitely gonna be diabetic
