Fortunately, my girlfriend is also southern and as Hubby enjoys her tea, I asked her for the recipe ...
Tea for 1 gallon container:
Boil on stovetop or in microwave 5-6 cups of water, (or enough to fill a small saucepan 2/3 full)
Once boiling, place 4-5 regular size tea bags or 2 family size tea bags into water, cover and remove from heat.
Let this sit for a few hours. I will steep my tea some times all day.
Pour your steeped tea, squeezing the tea bags out, into your container, add sugar to taste (I melt my sugar in a little hot water first) and fill the
Container the rest of the way with water, stir well and there you go.
If you find you need to add more sugar, mix it in a little hot water before adding to the cold mixture.
Personally, I prefer Luzianne tea instead of Lipton. Lipton tea seems to turn too dark too soon and doesn’t taste as fresh.
Happy
Good to know she prefers Luzianne, too! Reminds me I need to make some - it's supposed to get warm later this week and ah, a nice cold glass of sweet tea will hit the spot.
