Sweet Tea

I LOVE the sweet tea  they serve at Cracker Barrel and I finally decided to make some. I found this recipe and it’s really good. The baking soda kind of scared me but it works. Trust me!

• just under 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 2 cups boiling water
• 6 regular tea bags (or 4 big ones)
• 3/4 cup white sugar (or some honey to taste)
• 6 cups cool water (or less depending on how strong you like it. I found 6 diluted it too much)

Directions

1. Boil water and sugar together.
2. Sprinkle baking soda into a 64-ounce pitcher, add tea bags and boiling sugar water. Cover, and allow to steep for 15 minutes.
3. Remove tea bags, and discard; Pour in cool water, then refrigerate until cold.
4. I recommend tasting it as you put the cold water in so you don’t over dilute!
