Southern Sweet Tea

SUNDAY'S FOOD TIP

If you've visited or lived in the southern part of the United States, you know there's nothing like a glass of sweet tea to quench your thirst on a hot, humid summer day. Order a glass of ice tea in a restaurant in the South and you're sure to get sweet tea. To Southerners, ice tea means sweet tea.

You may wonder if there's some secret to the sweet tea served in the South.

Well, there is.

My grandmother used to make sweet tea. The secret to getting it perfectly sweet is to add the sugar when the tea is warm. That way, the sugar dissolves completely in the tea. Another secret is to add just a pinch of baking soda to the tea to take out any bitterness.

Try these recipes for Southern Sweet Tea.
