I grew up in Texas and now that I live in New Mexico realize how difficult it is to get a great cup of sweet tea. This recipe took me back to many a hot day spent sipping on just such a cup. Very refreshing and easy

i wanted to drop a helpful hint in regards to the reviewer that cracked two pitchers with hot tea.i do not remember who told me this i just remember after cracking my first tea pitcher so many years ago,someone told me to put a butter knife into the pitcher before pouring in the hot tea. the metal attracts the heat and keeps it from cracking the glass.and i have not cracked one since. hope this helps yall too.

I love iced tea. I made the recipe as directed and no one could drink it due to sweetness. Next time, I used 1 cup of sugar, 8 regular sized tea bads, and a gallon of water and thought it was still alittle sweeter than it should be. I think I will cut it to 3/4 of sugar to a gallon.

I am southern also and used to make my tea with 2 cups, but I have reduced my sugar to 1 cup and make a full gal. with 5 regular or 3 family size tea bags. I always get compliments on my tea. I sometimes drink it with no sugar. It is simply your choice on the sweetness.

The whole family loved it! Didn't think it was too sweet. Just skipped boiling the second time to avoid cracking the glass, after reading other reviews, and it turned out great! Will definately make again and again!

I like this recipe but I had to make a couple of changes for my crew. I run ten cups of water through the coffee maker drop the tea bags in, shut the coffee maker off and let the tea brew for about an hour and a half. We like the stronger tea flavor. I also cut the sugar down to one and a half cups. Other than that I follow the rest of the directions.

Very good tea. As for all the complaints about too much sugar, I think that's more just a matter of taste. I was practically raised on VERY sweet tea, and this was just right.

This tea is great but I tweaked it a little, I took the 2 cups of sugar put it in a sauce pan and added 2 cups of water to it. Then brought it to a boil, stir until the sugar dissolves, let it cool and you have simple syrup. I store mine in a quart jar, it doesn't have to be refrigerated. Make the awesome tea as directed, chill and when you are ready to serve let everyone add their own simple syrup to their liking with some lemon. You don't have to worry about the sugar being too sweet or not enough. I make lemonade by the glass and use the ss, it works very well. A northern girl born and bred who now lives in Tennessee and loves it. It's a 5 star.

As a "southern girl" I love some sweet tea! I gave this a 4 star because it's a little heavy on the sugar. I use about a cup and a quarter of sugar instead and I use lemon and orange slices too, Yum-yum! I am so glad that the rest of the country is now enjoying what we "southerners" have always known is a delight......sweet refreshing tea!

Personally i like Luzianne(maybe because that is what my Grandmother uses in Mississippi) but i like to add an orange slice, it gives it a little different flavor to mix things up from time to time.

I am from Texas and you can get the same excellent results by boiling 3 cups of water in the microwave with 4 (Luzianne is the best tea) family size tea bags. Let steep for a few minutes, longer if you like your tea strong. Put 1 - 1 1/2 cups of sugar per gallon of tea in a pitcher (More if you like it really sweet). Remove and squeeze tea bags. Pour hot tea over sugar and stir until dissolved. Add water to fill pitcher. I add cold water from my fridge, not from the tap, as it will make it too frothy. Everyone LOVES this tea.

Having been born and raised in Alabama I have always considered my mother's sweet tea to be the best in the world. But she does not re-boil her tea, after steeping, and only uses one cup of sugar per half gallon. And her tea is plenty sweet...in more ways than one! She also says that chilling the tea, before it has cooled to room temperature, will make it cloudy. So, I would not want to add the ice to the pitcher. Give it a little while to cool, then pour over ice. Perfect!
