Tea for me? Sweet!!!!!

As part of the MaryJanesFarm blog-a-thon, one week's theme was all about tea. Sadly, I only drink one kind of tea........the good old southern sweet iced tea. Now I know that is not sophisticated and not something health oriented, but let me tell you, there is nothing like a big, ice cold glass of southern sweet iced tea.

Here is my recipe and you will probably gasp:

boil water enough for one good size pitcher
in a glass pitcher, put 1 1/2 cup sugar
Choose two tea bags of your favorite tea
After water boils, pour into pitcher to one half full
stir sugar until dissolved
pour rest of hot water into pitcher
add tea bags and let steep until cool
Refrigerate or let cool to room temp
Pour into glasses filled with lots of ice

I have to tell you I grew up in the midwest, and we drank our iced tea this way, too. Or maybe it was because I had a mom who had roots in Tennessee!
