STEP AWAY FROM THE SWEET TEA...

In true "southern girl" fashion, I make my own sweet tea. It's my momma's recipe. I go through phases where this is ALL I want to drink.

Here's the recipe:
1 (or 2) cups of sugar
6-7 (small) lipton or tetley tea bags
1 medium sauce pan filled with water

Place the sugar in the sauce pan filled with water. Put over high heat and "stir" into sugar is dissolved. Once it starts to boil, remove it from heat. Put the tea bags in the pot and let sit for 30 mins. Once the 30 mins is up, remove the tea bags and pour the tea into a pitcher of your choice. Fill the rest of the pitcher with cold water and stir.  Refrigerate and enjoy!!!
