Yes ma’am that pinch of baking soda makes a difference! My granny taught me that trick too!
Takes the bitterness away.
Who asked
Wow, that southern accent ❤️
Yes Ma'am...gonna do they baking" soda riiiit----now! I'm from Georgia...Love it!
You go girl ! 💜💕💅🏻
Just watched yr new video today on how to make sweet tea! This older video showed up in my feed.🙂
Recipe is so good! Thank you for sharing. New sub!
I will definitely try the baking soda trick whenever I try to make it I end up adding so much sugar to take away the bitterness but it gets too sweet and still has the bitterness
I love suntea 💖
i should try to put some. baking soda in my tea
How long does it keep in the fridge?
Wish I lived in the south I like the south so much more than the Great Lakes
What is the purpose of the baking soda?
How can I make my own sweet tea at home in person
Did she give a measurement for the amount of water she used?
can i add baking powder instead?
Nope. Doesn't do the same.
This recipe.
Black tea is best tea.
How big is that container?
Oh a gallon. I see now. I make 2 gallons at a time, 4 family size tea bags total, and 1 1/3 cups of sugar (into each gallon container) I use a coffee pot, and always get compliments on my tea. I've heard the baking soda truck. I need to try it one-day.
so how many regular normal size tea bags???????????!
4!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Two cups of sugar!!! My teeth hurt just thinking about that! I add just two tablespoons per liter, which would be about a quarter cup per gallon. But, to each their own. Don’t change on my account. Thanks for the video.
2 cups is normal in the south.
Two is a lot and I’m from the south (MS). I can only tolerate 3/4 cups per gallon.
what a lovey pair of sweet teas.
omg my paper of my tea bag caught on fire i went from somewhere💀
Great Tea Experts make all the mistakes first!
Her accent approve the recipe
Who else was tripping when they heard baking soda
I disagree with the Lipton tea bags... if you’re a true southerner you’re gonna drink Luzianne tea, but that’s how my momma raised me. Nice video though :)
The only problem my head with the video was that she didn’t measure how many cups of water her large jar took…
It's a gallon.
TOM PIPPS FOAM- BATON ROUGE LOUISIANA USA HI HELLO MY BABY &
This is heartbreaking for Asians
I think you are all going to be diabetic real quick. I'm from UK and I think this is just heartbreaking to see tea being used this way lol
BAKING SODA? Never heard of that, but when I tried it and DANG! Makes a difference! I like it! Thanks!
Lol, she said she's gonna bring the water to a "bowl" ... as in her accent is that thick. Awesome 🔥
I'm a sweet tea addict! LOL! I've not heard of the baking soda trick... definitively going to try that trick today! And, Wal-Mart STILL carriers that mason jar dispenser! I purchased mine about 3 weeks ago for $12! Thanks for sharing, pretty lady! Have a great day! Hugs!
I am from south GA. I have made sweet tea my whole life and never even heard of the baking soda trick. I am going to try it! :)
My granny does it… i love her sweet tea but I never use it lol
I bring 2 family size tea bags to a boil then turn down and let simmer for 2-3 mins. I pour and mix together in a gallon pitcher over 1 1/2 cups sugar, then continue to add water over the tea bags in the boiler and pour into my pitcher until full. No bitter taste at all. The more tea bags you use, and the longer you boil it or let it steep, the more stronger/bitter it will taste.
Just got done making my first gallon of sweet tea using your recipe...my 17 y/o said it's "the best sweet tea ever"!!!! As a dad of 5 who loves sweet tea, we'll be making this one several times a week!!! Thanks!!
I take my sweet tea serious lol, definitely gonna give this recipe a try!
Nothin like good ole southern sweet tea!!! I have it in my fridge every day!! My favorite!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You make tea like my granny used to. I can’t do that much sugar anymore, but my husband loves it! Thanks for sharing!!
Love it! Love your utensils jar! I will try with the Stevia! I have heard not to steep tea over 7 minutes because it becomes bitter after that (Barista knowledge/tip). This is why the baking soda is probably balancing out the bitterness afterwards.
I saved this video a while back.... just got around to finally making this sweet tea! Just wanted to let you know that it’s delicious!! We will be making this all the time now! Your recipe and video will save us tons of money as my hubby loves his iced tea! Thanks soooo much!! 💕💕
Totally trying this recipe out this weekend! Thanks!
I’ve never heard of the baking soda!! I need to give this a try 😋
Fell in love with the south!
Ok girl you got me on the baking soda 🥤! I’m From and live in Tennessee but I have never heard of soda in your sweet tea before! Definitely going to try this! We always have lemons 🍋 with our tea also. It’s the best! Thanks for sharing this tip! I’ll let you know! Have a blessed day!
This turned out so good, Thanks for taking the time in showing us how :)
Thanks for answering why to add baking soda I have been hesitant to try making it now I will for sure!!
Yum!! Now I want some sweet tea 😋. I'm trying the baking soda trick today. Thank you!
Love this sweet tea!! Thank you for the video! Our family is addicted to it. I make 2 gallons at a time💕
Thank you for showing. I am going to make that for my son. Who loves sweet tea.
We drink lots of sweet tea! I'm going to try adding baking soda next time I make tea!
I’m soooooo going to make this tea!!! I love sweat tea !!!!
I'm in Louisiana I Love Ice Tea will have to try it that way.
Yes!! When I saw this thumbnail I thought, "Lemme see if this girl knows about the baking soda". It cuts the bitterness & makes the tea so smooth.
Yessss!! Gotta know the baking soda secret!
I loved this video def trying! My fam will love it! ☕️ 🍹
Great video! Thanks for sharing! Just made some!
I make my sweet tea exactly like you do except I add the baking soda slowly when the tea comes to a boil. The soda really takes the bitterness out. We love sweet tea!!! :) ~Dana~
I was shocked to see sweet tea recipes are a thing on CZcams. BUT then I remembered that I am Southern and there are other people out there who are not. Bless their hearts Lol
Also, thank you for telling people about the baking soda! You'd be surprised how many recipes on CZcams that don't include that!
I'm gonna try this recipe tonight. I'm from Louisiana and never heard of adding the baking soda. Can't wait to see how that tastes! :)
You always have the cutest outfits.👍 on the tea and the outfit!
this is soooooooooo gooooood
Staple on our farm!! We also drink it in Mason jars!!! I make tea everyday!
I've never heard of the baking soda! I'll have to try it! Thanks
I tried your recipe last night and it was delicious 😋 Thank you
Girl-I’m gonna have to try that bakin’ soda trick!! Look at you dishin’ out that Southern 101! ❤️👌🏻 from Louisiana
Love your video, I'll try baking soda in my sweet tea, Tfs, Have a sweet day.
I live in ky and never heard about the baking soda thing. I've never been the best at making sweet tea I always don't put enough sugar or to much or something. I just tried making it this way and it is AWSOME!! I'm going have to have my friend try this. She loves sweet tea but is VERY picky about how it tastes. I really think she will like this.
Tea looks soo refreshing thanx for the Baking soda tip😊
I really love your video Your such a joy to watch thanks you!!!! 😇
The soda also helps to keep your sweet tea from turning cloudy once it's cooled and has been sitting overnight. Growing up, my family always had to make "double-strength" tea, and, when we needed a gallon, we put half the DS tea in with half water. Also, we used to used the "loose tea leaves" (forget how much) and had to strain it using a sieve. We also ran cool water over those leaves, gettin' more of the tea flavor - we let the tea "steep" at least 10 minutes, then made the DS tea. Our tea recipe made two gallons of DS, and, we used either 4 family sized or 16 regular sized bags (when loose tea was no longer available) to 4 cups sugar for two DS gallons of tea - with a family of six people, the tea didn't last long in our house - LOL! ... Plus, don't forget how sweet tea (and unsweet) is always best when it has set overnight at least one night before drinking it. (TIP:. If you only get or have instant tea, boil the tea and water together before sweetening it to help make it taste less instant! And, the soda is a must with instant to keep it from turning cloudy! 😉) Thank you for sharing your recipe cause I'd not made sweet tea in such a long time that I forgot the ratio of tea to sugar. Your recipe reminded me of how much we always used - exactly (I think - 😁.) Thanks bunches - pun intended, LOL!!!
First time trying iced tea and I love it 🥰
Great video! I immediately subscribed after watching this video!
Best tea ever!
My mom taught me to add baking soda as well. I think it also helps the tea have a darker, richer color.
You just made me question myself on making tea 😆 Tfs
Love me some tea!!♡
Thanks Jen!! 😘
Craving me some maybe this weekend
I just made Sun Tea the other day and was looking for a Southern Sweet Tea recipe. Thank you. I also have that same jar. ❤️🍹

Make sweet tea all the time (Ga girl here) but I’m definitely gonna try the stevia/sugar mix! 👍🏼
This video has rewarded you with a new follower!
Looks good going try this! ☕️Tfs
Such a super cute video!! I am going to try the stevia in mine this week 💗tfs
I do the exact same thing! The only difference is that I prefer Red Rose tea - just a personal preference :)
Ok I’m adding this to my favorites video jen... off to watch the skillet one
Daniela Diaries you're cute
If you buy decaf tea it is NEVER bitter! And you can drink it all night, LOL!
Funny you mention that, because I totally forgot to mention this in the video. So I grew up drinking Lipton decaf! Decaf was always what I drank and even made until recently.
I never had decaf anything. Can you tell the difference
@@kirkjohnson4569 No you can't. So good 😃
Im gunna make a big jug of this for up on the tractor this summer
Yes girl love me some sweet tea! #Southernraised
OOOOOOO-EEEEEEEEEEEE how I love me a sweet teaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Looks very refreshing and satisfying 😋 Baking soda?😕 Interesting. That blouse is very pretty on you 😊 I will be making this recipe too. Thanks so much 👍👍👍
I’ll take a tall glass of southern tea. Not had any really good southern tea since my granny is in heaven.
I've never heard of the baking soda. I grew up drinking sweet tea and always made it just like this except for the baking soda. I'll have to see if I notice a difference with it added. Thanks for sharing!
i know this is a year old, but did you notice a difference at all? being from kentucky i’ve never heard of baking soda with tea
Thank u....bake soda n stevia what.....im gonna try it.....i hope it will turn out to be good......u are beautiful
Thank u its the best
I subscribed to ur channel
I've lived in the South my entire life and have been making sweet tea almost my entire life. I've never heard of adding baking soda, but I'm going to try it. What you said makes sense. I'll let you know how it turns out.
Let me know!! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!
@@CookCleanAndRepeat I asked my husband had he ever heard of such. He said his Grandma used to make it like that. I'm making it tomorrow. Btw we're from central Alabama.
I am in the market for a tea dispenser like yours. Can you please tell me the brand ? You are so fun to watch!! Thanks for the video!!!:))
I put the sliced lemon on the bottom and then add the ice. It infuses better. It's soo good!
I don’t even like tea and u have me wanting to make this 😂
Yes
If I use Decaf tea do I still need the baking soda?
