  • Nothing is more refreshing that a big old glass of sweet tea and it's easy to master the perfect pitcher of tea. Serve it over ice with lemon 🍋 or even squeeze in a slice of orange 🍊, what's your favorite way to drink sweet tea?

    Hey girl! Here watching. We got matching southern accents. 🥰 I make mine very similar , I made it in one of my videos I don’t remember which one 😂

    I use Luzianne tea bags family size bags. It's only me and my Grandson so I just make 2 qts. I use two tea bags. I use Splenda because we are trying to cut down on sugar and Splenda tastes more like sugar than any other sweetner. I like lemon in my tea but my Grandson doesn't so I just add a piece to my glass. He said my tea is the best he had ever had. He had never had homemade sweet tea until I made it for him. It's better than buying it pre-made at the store or restaurants
  • Now I must admit...I am new to the tea scene lol. My hubby was a barista when we met and he has been trying to get me into coffee and tea for years lol. I finally ventured to the tea side!! So I can appreciate a good cup of tea now lol. We get the herbal fruit flavored ones and have a whole recipe the way we make it! Your way is a lot more simple and straight to the point ☺️. Thanks for sharing Mel! I hope your having a great day!! 💗
  • Hey Mel this video popped up and I LOVE it even tho it's a year old ...... I make tea same way .... I have a wooden spoon that's only for tea and one pot ...... but I do let my tea sit for about 1 hr before I make ... don't know why but my nana taught me that and she is 97 yrs young as of Oct 14th 2022 ...... LOVE all your videos

    I’m not a fan of sweet tea but my fiancé loves it! His grandma would put a can of Pepsi in hers. 🍋 I like half tea half lemonade myself!
  • @sexychic6005
    That’s exactly how I make mine! I will sometimes add a pinch of baking soda to cut through the bitterness and makes a hives difference. Best tea I ever had ❤
  • @wilmaeffler8049
    Loved all your recipes this week. Going to try some if them
  • @intercommradio7372
    I use 6 or more lol large tea bags Louisiane and i let it boil for about 6 or so min and I am on a gas stove. It is a lot different for sure. I was using Tetley and I know they changed their recipe in their teabags so I had to find another I boiled that the same as always and it just didn't never come out right. I got louizianne and it does just fine so. ( spelling lol )
