I absolutely love these recipes, and you manage to make it entertaining too!
Happy to hear that you enjoy my recipe videos. Thanks a lot, I try.
I agree. Amongst the best on CZcams. Entertaining yet very informative
Who's here in 2024 ?
Meee! lol

Yo I heard the smoke detector!
Sweet tea- the “water” of the South.😅 I love mine with lemons 🍋 or peaches 🍑. 😍😍
Same
@@sbabymxchi aaa
@Slim That's cool.
Mmm peaches sounds good too. Not a bad idea.
I have a uncle who lives on Bayou Liberty in Slidell just north of New Orleans and they add rum to their peach crystal light tea and call it Liberty Tea.
That's some yummy iced tea, Charlie.
Thanks Byron!
CHARLIE I HAVE A TASTE FOR FRIED CHICKEN AND DIRTY RICE GOING TO THE STORE RIGHT NOW HAVING ICED TEA WITH MY MEAL
That's good to hear! :)
So cute
I can’t believe you didn’t pull out one of the old school jelly (Mason or Ball) jars Chuck! Tea still looking good though 👍🏽
Mason Jars?? I never used one of those before. Thanks!
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews other southerners use the mason jars or former mayonnaise jars
@@sunmoonstars1611 Yes, those are good as well! :)
Love love love freshly made sweet tea!! Give me a mason jar filled with ice, a slice of lemon and a sunny day and i am in heaven!
That is good to hear! Mason Jar??
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews a mason jar is what people can with. Lots of people use them as glasses in the south. I am surprised you never heard of them. I guess you are too young. Lol. There was a bar in Slidell many years ago that was called Boscos. They served a drink called Swamp Water and served it in mason jars. Mason is the brand there is also some called Ball jars.
@@minniesmomma6374 :P I’m 20 and know what a mason jar is so I don’t think it’s much about age, maybe just location
@@minniesmomma6374 I see what you are referring to now. That's the pickle jars. We had used pickle jars in the 90's but we never used them for drinks. Swamp Water?? A drink? That's something. :)
Charlie you had me cracking up when slammed that glass table😂. Im sure it was just that good
I know right Theresa. lol Thanks!
Perfect Day for Ice tea💜
Thannnnnk Y☀️U!!!!!!💫
Yep! You're welcome!
I love sweet tea, it's my beverage of choice. I have to use real sugar. Sometimes I add lemon, cinnamon, or ginger. I like Luzianne brand better. Thank you for this refreshing moment Charlie.
That is good to hear MoNo! Luzianne is good too. You're welcome! :)
Oh my gosh, I have been drinking my ice tea with a slice of ginger root ! It makes it so refreshing. You are the first person that I have seen that also uses ginger in their tea!
THAT TEA LOOKS DELICIOUS WILL TRY IT
Thanks Audrey. Let me know how it turns out.
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews WILL LET YOU KNOW
Hi charlie ice tea is one of my favorite. I drink it every morning. This looks fantastic. Thank you charlie. ☺🙂😋😉😄😊
That is good to hear Jeremy. You're welcome, not a problem.
Just made this....it was amazing.... lot's of love from Canada
Happy to hear that the Sweet tea was successful. Thanks for leaving feedback!!
Charlie, there is nothing you cannot make!! I am a tea drinker and i have seen tea bags that size. I also add not only lemons but berries to my iced tea as i love both tea and berries!!
You'd be surprised. Thanks a lot! That's good to hear.
Oh yeah Charlie, sweet tea, & sitting on the porch time. 😍
Dont get much better right 🤤
I know right. Thanks a lot!
That looks so good. No need to waste money on an ice tea maker machine. Thank you for all you do. 😊
You're welcome. I appreciate the compliments!
My boy Charlie coming through wat we call it "diabetic liquid" in Mississippi. Lol
For some reason I can't drink straight tea anymore I have to make it half with lemonade (Arnold palmer) good one Charlie. 👍👍
Me too! We call it an uptown. I just mixed up a jar and enjoyed it.

@ therealmccoy2004 Thanks a lot! That's something. lol
Wooohooo yes this what I need chef cause I'm on a heart diet
That's good to hear!
Real talk, it might seem simple but folks don’t know how to make it this good! NICE!
#BeardGang
Thanks Kenyon!
A cooling perfection, just in time Charlie, thank you....
You're welcome! :)
Charlie, it seems there are so many ways of making sweet tea. I like to boil 1/2 gallon of water, turn it off, add the sugar (1 cup) stir to dissolve; Add the tea bags (4 or 5 family size), let it steep for five minutes minimum. Remove tea bags, and add that mixture to a half gallon of water. Stir well. There you have a gallon of sweet tea. ❤❤❤❤ I love your way of making it too!
Yes, there are several ways of making tea. I do appreciate you for sharing your methods. Thanks a lot!
Yes!!! Iced tea is a staple in my kitchen. Thank you as always!☮️❤️
That is good to hear. You're welcome, not a problem.
That look good
Thanks Karen!
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews you welcome
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews you welcome
Man i want a BIG ole glass of that ice tea with a hot catfish sammach on light bread..😋😋😋✊🏿😁😁😁
Sounds good right about now, with a few drops of hot sauce to boot😉...
Not light bread😂😂My friends tease me when I say this& riiice.lol
@Rashaad & Jeremy That's cool.
I Use Lipton Family Size Iced Tea Bags When I Make My Iced Tea & I Use Splenda To Sweeten My Iced Tea & Also Use Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice Or Peach Nectar In My Iced Tea Good!!
That is good to hear. The peach nectar is a nice addition. Thanks for sharing!
Now I know why my sister made a pither of tea tonight for my son Michael.She said Charlie used lots of sugar,I saw her with large juicy lemons.I may steal a glass before I turn,tho I usually prefer drinking a hot cup of internatioal blends such as chamommile or Earl Gray.Old lady style,lolSee you inspire all.Thanks for sharing,my friend,now what am I goinf to eat w/my tea,crumpets?Blessinggs!!!!
Wow that's cool Ms Pat. I've never heard of those international brands of tea before. I may look those up. Thanks for sharing!
Brings me home as a child. That Domino sugar is gold. Charlie I will be making this today! Omg I can taste it now.
Yes absolutely. Awesome, let me know how it turns out. :)
Looks very refreshing!!! I usually sweeten the tea then pour into a pitcher.
I get so tickled when you bang on your table BUT that just let's
me know that whatever you have prepared is indeed a BANGER!! Love It!!
I appreciate the compliments. Thanks a lot!
Charlie thank you for giving us the sugar-free version.
You're welcome Brenda! :)
I love your videos… I don’t know exactly why, but I think maybe I just got burnt out on tea last year, but I’m gonna try and make some Splenda sweet tea… maybe some half Splenda, half sugar tea, with just a pinch of baking soda to soften the water and make it nice and clear. I really do enjoy your videos
I am happy to hear that you enjoy my videos. That's understandable. If you ever decide to try the recipe, let me know how it turns out. Thanks!
Refreshing video Charlie !
Been Years since I made tea from bags lol.
I would have put the sugar in the tea.
Might have been easier to mix ..
Thank You for sharing your video, your recipe, and inviting us into your kitchen.
Have a Blessed Day !
You're welcome. I appreciate the compliments! :)
Omg!!! I make and drink tea daily!!! Iced tea!!! I wish i was your neighbor!! You can't go wrong with this!!🥛 Thank you Mr. Charlie!!
That is good to hear Annie. You're welcome, not a problem.
Charlie is the real deal. He has to cooking for a living.
Thanks a lot Jay!
Ain't nothing better than homemade Southern sweet tea!!! 😍Sometimes, I use brown sugar and a pinch of baking soda. Thank you for the video and recipe, Mr. Charlie!! Take care and be safe. Much love from Florida!! 😊❤🙏💙🥤
Yes, you are right about that. Wow, that's something. You're welcome, not a problem. You be safe as well. Thanks!
Great summer drink👍
Right about that. Thanks!
Now that's Iced Tea!
Thanks Randy!
They keep telling me I need to drink more water. I tell them I drink plenty of water, it’s just tea flavored.
When my son makes tea he adds the sugar to the water then he brings the water to a boil shuts the burner off then puts the tea bags in to steep. His tea is very good. I laugh and say it is snowball syrup. Because that is basically how you make the simple syrup. Just lots more sugar then add your flavors. His is not syrup but good ole fashioned southern sweet tea.
Take care Charlie. Enjoyed your video as usual.
I know right. lol ha ha Snow ball syrup. He must've added lots of sugar in there. That's cool. Thanks so much for sharing! :)
Hey Charlie, next time you make this try raspberry. 2 cups of raspberries in a strainer and press the berries to release the juice. Add the collection of raspberry juice to the tea..... amazing! I use Splenda too. 🤤
Hey there! Raspberry sounds like a nice addition. May try it in the near future. Thank you!
Love this video! Thank you!
I appreciate the compliments. You're welcome, not a problem!!
Great job. When I use more than one teabag, I always tie the teabags together to be able to get them out easier. Sometimes I remove the Lipton paper, can’t be too careful with dyes .
Yeah I should of cut the tea bag strings off. lol
I like sweet tea,too!
This so much better than powder tea!
MUCH LOVE TO YOU, Charlie
KEEP the good food coming...💛
That is good to hear Joyce! You're right about. I sure will keep the videos coming. Thanks so much!
I thank you love sweet tea.
You're welcome. That's good to hear! :)
Hey Charlie another great video. I cooked Sunday dinner yesterday and made this tea I substituted white sugar for Dixieland light brown sugar. Tea came out great. I use to make my tea using Luzianne but the Lipton taste better now that I tried it. Thanks for sharing
Awesome, Happy to hear that the Iced tea turned out wonderfully. Thanks for leaving feedback! :)
Your channel is so fresh yet it feels like home 🤌❤️
Thank you!
I love sweet tea! Being a Georgia girl, that is in my blood. My Grandmother would put fresh mint leaves from her garden in her tea. I use a LOT of sugar too! Ain't nothing worse than some bland tea! Have a blessed day.
That is good to hear. Thanks so much for sharing. Yes I agree, nothing worse than bland tea. lol ha ha You have a great day as well. :)
Thank you for the video! I've lived outside the US for 10 years and missed iced tea
You're welcome, not a problem!
Charlie this looks so refreshing. Thanks for sharing.👍
I appreciate the compliments. You're welcome, not a problem.
Love tea. I drink it everyday. Delicious 😋.
Wow that's cool. Thanks!
I love iced tea 😍 I always add lemon too. Looks great 😍
That's good to hear Jonny. Thanks a lot! :)
That was awesome. I make my tea in a similar fashion except I add my ice last. I stir the hot tea and sugar together first and then put the ice on top and stir again.
Wow that's good to hear! Thanks!
Glad I found this because I used to buy a gallon of Turkey Hill Southern Brewed Iced Tea from the supermarket for about $2.50. That is until my lovely city of Philadelphia slapped a sugar tax on beverages raising the price of the tea to over $5.00. I'll make my own for now.
That is awesome and good to hear. Let me know how it turns out. Thanks!
Ain't nothing like some good Ole "Sweet" Sweet Tea. Mmmm, good 👍!!!
I know right April. Thanks so much!
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews you're welcome Charlie!
Excellent Sir Charlie...🤗 adaptation tie bags together then remove tags, add sugar in pot upon removing bags help sugar dissolve then pour over ice... my dad loved Iced Tea 🤭 and ZATARANS root beer peace...👍🏼💯❣
Thanks a lot. That's good to hear.
Nothing like a great glass of iced tea on a hot summer day.
You're right about that. Thanks JaMarcuss!
Tea is my fav yess I'm here for it!❤❤
That is good to hear Tina. Thanks! :)
Nice job. I usually use agave nectar and touch of ginseng for my iced tea sweeteners.
Thanks! That's cool.
Gonna make a pitcher today.
That's cool. Let me know how it turns out.
You are so sweet for this
Thank you!
Baybay, yasss Refreshingly Delicious Sweet Tea....🍹If you like to experiment in the kitchen try it with ice cubes made with lemon juice, cranberry juice or mashed berries ( strawberry, blackberry, raspberry) perfect for suntea🌞green tea is excellent with citrus 🍊🍹
I appreciate the compliments. Never heard of sun tea before. That's something.
Alright Charlie, I'll have a glass of that tea.You know that I am a southern girl, a glass of good old sweet tea is next to champagne down here in Georgia. Love you,be blessed, stay safe &enjoy your weekend. Love from Lula mae&Family. 💞💞💞💞💞💟💞💞💞💞💞!!!

I know right Andre. Thanks!
Love you Charlie. You make everything so easy.
I appreciate the compliments. Thank you!
The Dollar General Store has ball jar tea glasses.
I use a 2qt pot. Boil water then add 6tea bags.tied together. Put lid on pot. Cool off! Then add 16 equal packets. 1 lemon sliced thin into tea. Put 4 trays of ice cubes in 1 gallon jug. Stir well taste and correct sugar. Now, chill rest.
Peach juice of 1 can dole.
For peach tea.
Nice, Thanks for sharing!
Charlie, you must bang your table quite a bit as your recipes are all so awesome and I have tried some and I do love some tea and drink it often. I drank the most while working on my state job, but have and still love going to restaurants where they serve their ice tea where the tea is made and ice only added to it when getting ready to serve it. That tea is the best and I just can't get enough of it.
Yes I do hit my table quite a bit. lol That is good to hear. Tea is really good. Thanks for sharing!
👌 now..from one beard guy to another....loving it.
That's good to hear. Thanks Tellias!
Tfs I love, love sweet tea!
You're welcome. That is good to hear Ms Jani! :)
Yessssssss!! Iced Tea is quite refreshing!! Thank You, Charlie !! Ice 🫖
You're welcome Donna! :)
You should try strawberry peach iced tea and ginger tea just a suggestion to each it’s own
I've tried the Strawberry but not the Ginger. I may try the Ginger in the near future and see if it works for me. Thanks!
Now Charlie! You know you was supposed to use Luzianne tea bags! 🤣 I love everything you do! Keep up the great work!
I know right. Lipton was my favorite. lol I sure will keep up the good work!
I love peach iced tea
That is good to hear. Thanks for sharing!
I have been told I make the best sweet tea. However, I have to try your version. I love your videos. I have shared them with so many people and they love them too. I laugh so hard every time you hit that table. My friend cried from laughter when you hit that table. It gets me every time. Have you thought about selling cookbooks.? Thanks . See you on next video.
Happy to hear that you enjoy my channel. I appreciate the compliments. Thank you!

Chef Charlie I Love Iced Tea!!! And This One You Made Looks Great!!!! Will Be Trying This One!!! Thank You So Much!!! Two Thumbs Up!!!
I appreciate the compliments. You're welcome Debbie!
When I was growing up my Mom made the best iced tea! She used loose tea leaves that you could buy, the brand was Lipton tea.. she would bring water to a boil, add the tea leaves, cover to steep for an hour. She stranded the tea with a strainer into the tea pitcher, added sugar/ not too much sugar, just enough to sweeten a little bit.. maybe a cup of sugar in a half gallon pitcher/ no more than that cause you’d have tea syrup!!
Wow that is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing! :)
Hi Charlie I love a tall glass of iced tea. Thanks for the recipe. It's great with the lemon.
Hey Earlene! That is good to hear. You're welcome!

A quick trick…add the sugar to the tea in the pot when it’s hot. Boom! All dissolved! My daughter in law also adds the lemons into the tea as it cools (after squeezing the juice & adding it to the pitcher). The oils in the rind adds a nice, smoothness to the tea 🫖 flavor!
I appreciate you for sharing the suggestions. Thanks a lot for sharing!
Hey Charlie keep up the good recipes you're doing a great job and thank you for all the recipes.👌✌️👋😃
Hey Sharlene. I appreciate the compliments. You're welcome, not a problem!
