COPYCAT MCDONALD'S SWEET TEA Makes 1 gallon 3 Family Size Lipton iced tea bags pinch of baking soda (optional) (keeps tea clear) 4 cups boiling water 12 cups cold water 1 1/2 cups sugar (you can use less)
Drop a pinch of baking soda in the bottom of a heat-proof, one gallon pitcher (plastic pitchers are best when working with boiling water). In a small sauce pan, bring 4 cups of water to boil. Remove from heat, add tea bags and allow to brew for 15 minutes, dunking tea bags up and down a few times while brewing. Remove tea bags, pressing out excess tea with a spoon. Transfer hot tea to pitcher, add sugar, stir and allow to dissolve completely. Add 12 cups cold water and stir. Store in fridge until chilled. Serve over ice. Enjoy! Tips *Plastic pitchers work best - NEVER pour boiling water in glass pitcher that is not heat-proof, it may shatter. *Adjust sugar amount to desired taste. My girls like a little more sugar, but I always use less. *Try different flavored tea bags, like peach. YUM! *If you like stronger tea, add an additional tea bag(s). There is speaking grace. Colossians 4:6 says, "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man." ~Blessings, Sugar --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
