What is the best way to make sweet tea?
Answers:
Make a simple syrup by cooking equal parts sugar and water in a pot on the stove until the sugar is dissolved. Let cool and store in a covered container. Make your tea as you usually would and just add this syrup to your glass until it reaches the desired level of sweetness. This is a great idea for a larger group of people because everybody can add their desired amount of syrup instead of sweetening an entire pitcher. It also works equally well for either hot or cold tea. With cold tea, regular sugar mostly sinks to the bottom of the glass instead of dissolving, but this simply stirs right in. Enjoy!
DAM, just put sugar in your tea,,,do not forget to stirre it...
to make a gallon - use a reg size coffee pot and put 5 of the small tea bags or 3 of the big tea bags in the top and let it brew. put 1 cup of sugar in the jug and when the tea has brewed, put it in the jug with the sugar and dislove the sugar, then add water to fill jug
Boil water. Put in the tea bags and some sugar. Add milk to it. Add a little bit more sugar. Turn off the gas when yhe tea starts to come up.
Mmmmm....I love ginger/cardamom tea, boil till it simmers then serve hot with honey/condensed milk. The aroma is fantastic.
Okay, it really depends on what type of tea you have. Since Green Tea is the first one to pop into my head, I will help. You get a better taste if you boil the water instead of microwave, but lazy people(like me) just want some darn tea, so you microwave the water for about 50 seconds. That will make it warm enough to drink right away. Then add one and a half teaspoons of sugar. Then, put a little honey and brown sugar. I know it sounds gross, but really it creates a sweet mixture. Then, drink up. You can alter the amount of sugar you put in if you want. But dietary would be one and a half. Enjoy. Hope I helped.
Use honey as a sweetener in your tea.
Ask a Southerner. They're the only ones who really know how to make it right -- according to the ones I know, anyway!
Real Southern sweet tea has to have the sugar stirred into the boiling water. It dissolves better that way, and apparently a real Southerner can taste the difference.
If tradition isn't important, try this: a friend used to make a lovely iced tea by brewing the tea, cooling it, then using 2/3 tea and 1/3 lemonade. That was really good. Another friend froze lemonade in icecube trays and used those in her tea. That was nice, too. Tiny little icecubes dissolve better, if you can find the trays that make the little ones.
