A Secret Ingredient To Southern Style Sweet Tea
This is another recipe that i got from my southern gentleman friend. He said this is how is mother and grandmother have always made it, he was from georgia, so if that's not southern then i don't know what is. He says the secret is to use the earl gray tea with the regular tea, and add the sugar while it's cooking/brewing. It really tasted like the real thing, it wasn't just plain tea with sugar added to it. He just did this real quick on the stove top. I can't quite remember how much sugar he used (i don't think he measured), just taste as you go until you achieve your desired sweetness. These amounts are approximate, so tweak it until you get it the way you like it.
