I’ve drank iced tea every single day of my life. I’m from the south, I’ve lived all over the Deep South, I still live in the Deep South and it’s just what I drink. Aside from water, coffee and adult beverages, this is it. I make 2 gallons of tea everyday and I have done this for decades. Who does it right? Who does it wrong? You do it the way you like it, and this is mine.

Steps

1

In a 2 quart saucepan, fill with water and add your 2 teabags. Bring to a full boil then take off the heat. I usually let it steep for at least 30 minutes, only because I’m busy doing something else.
2

Pour concentrated steeped tea in a one gallon pitcher. Add 1 1/3 cups sugar to the pitcher and stir. Add enough cold water to fill the pitcher and stir. Keep refrigerated.

I'm an army brat with a Cajun mother and an Irish dad. I'm married to the love of my life, David, and we have 2 daughters and 2 grandchildren. I've been a barber for 40 years. Im an old fashioned, old school cook and my recipes are basic. I change them up all the time.Since finding out I’m diabetic I’ve had to rearrange old habits. Any recipe I have can be made the old fashioned way OR replaced with lower carb options. Just ask and I’ll tell you what has worked for me.I’m the self proclaimed queen of the leftover. I have issues with leftovers looking back at me with the same sappy look they had the day before. Can’t do it. My super power is turning what I find in my fridge into something I want to eat. I work so much better under pressure. I live for shortcuts and not having to run to the grocery every day. Work with what you have. Adapt and overcome. Also, the less dishes, bowls, and pots I hafta use, the better. Hope some of these recipes work out for ya!
