Answer 1

gurl if you can't find make it yourself child! buy a pitcher, tea bags and sugar and go for what you know!

Answer 2

This is my recipe for sweet tea:

First, you need four tea bags (I recommend Lipton tea in the yellow box - trust me, the taste is much better than others). Make sure you get a pitcher that holds two quarts of water and fill it with one quart of hot water. Put the tea bags in the water and let them steep for 3 minutes - no more, no less. Fill the pitcher with a quart of cold water and be sure to stir afterwards. Then add 3/4 C. white sugar and stir. It will be at least lukewarm, so you can add ice cubes to the pitcher, or you can put the ice cubes into individual glasses. If the tea isn't sweet enough, you can add more sugar; everyone who's tasted mine says it has the right amount of sweetness.

Answer 4

Take a medium sized saucepan and fill it with water, add 6 to 12(depending on how strong you like it) tea bags. Let the tea come to a boil, turn off and strain tea bags from water. Get a gallon jar and fill it with ice. Add up to 3 cups(depending on how sweet you like it, or use artificial sweetner.)sugar to the hot tea,stir til sugar melts. Pour sweetened tea into jar with ice and fill the rest of the way with water if necessary. Voila!! You have sweet tea.

Answer 5

the usual sweet tea is just a good old lipton with sugar added.............and they use lots of sugar in the south. Sweeten to your own taste. Also, you don't NEEDa tea maker, you can just boil a pot of water, turn off the heat add 1 teabag for every 1 and a half cups of water. Let steep for 3-5 minutes depending on your taste. Remove tea bags, add the sugar and stir to dissolve. Let cool pour into a refrigerator container, cover and refrigerate for up to one week

Answer 6

We are from N.C., My grandmother made sun tea. She used Lipton's tea in a clear glass quart jar. Wrap the tea in cotton cloth securing the top with a rubber band. Fill the jar with water put the tea in secure the top on the jar, place it in the sun and wait until the color darken's mix in your sugar to taste and you have sun tea.....enjoy.
