I hosted a Southern-style thanksgiving luncheon for a senior population and decided that sweet tea would be the perfect beverage. Personally I've only had it once in Georgia, just last year, and then again in Kansas City a couple of months ago...that time with vodka. I was not overwhelmingly fond of it...until I tried this recipe!! OMG...it is absolutely the smoothest, most delicious tea that I've ever had. The recipe calls for what seems like a large amount of sugar, but the tea was not overly sweet at all. I'll definitely be making this again...as soon as I run out!

I should give this recipe 10 stars. I gave the recipe to my grandma, who was addicted to Mc D's tea, but now she can just make it at home! I too love making this and its definitely way less bitter! Thanks for a great iced tea!

I LOVE this recipe. Over the summer, I fell in love with Chick-fil-A sweet tea. This has become my new favorite. I did reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup, but the sweetness is a matter of personal taste anyway. The baking soda takes out the "bite" and this is, as the recipe says smoooth. Smooth & yummy. Thanks!

This was DELICIOUS!!! I ran across this recipe and whipped it up in about 20 minutes. I served it with my Sunday dinner and my family loves it. Bye-bye diet cola, this will be a staple at my house from now on.

Maybe I'm just not used to sweet tea, but I thought this was only okay. It was very, very sweet for my taste and a little too strong. I only steeped the tea bags for 10 minutes, but maybe the kind I used - Ceylon Assam - was simply too strong. I felt it needed some lemon or lime to give it additional flavour. Maybe I'm just an iced tea, not a sweet tea kind of girl. I liked the idea of the baking soda though. I would definitely recommend filling the glass pitcher with hot tap water and letting it warm up for a few minutes before filling it with the boiling water and tea bags, or the glass is very likely to crack!

This was alright. Next time I will use less water, it was a little watery.

Love the method of making this tea (the pinch of baking powder). Great idea. Way too much sugar for us though. Will make this a lot but I'll keep it unsweetened and let people sweeten themselves. Thanks for the recipe.

Excellent tea. I had no idea that baking soda could be used but it made the tea very clear. I used Splenda so it was sugar free also. Thanks for this method, I will use it from now on.
