southern style sweet tea
(3 ratings)
If you've ever lived in the south then you know what "good" sweet tea tastes like. This is how the "southern side" of my family makes their tea. I personally don't like it this sweet so I only use half of what is called for and it's usually granulated Splenda an not sugar.
