Make and Transport Sweet Southern Ice Tea

Always start with cold water and four family size Lipton tea bags. Bring tea to a simmer, add approximately 1 gallon cold water and 2 cups sugar. Use less water if desired, and adjust sugar to taste. Stir well and refrigerate.

When you make sweet tea for pot-luck dinners or family picnics, a great way to carry it spill free is to cover the top with plastic wrap, put the lid on the container, wrap again with plastic wrap and secure with a rubber band.

No more spilled tea in your car!
