Thats some good stuff there hatcher...made right here in Charleston!! Add some lemonade to this vodka and it is awesome!!
To answer your question Cali...my wife makes soo much sweet tea here, we have a tea maker. I grew up being the tea maker in my house as a child, and I had to boil water on the stove and do it that old fashioned way. Walmart.com: MR. COFFEE iced tea maker: Appliances Sorry for the walmart reference. This was the best $20 I have ever spent...well...it probably ranks up at the top. With this thing, I use 3 family sized Lipton tea bags. After it does its little brew cycle, I add 1 cup of sugar to the hot freshly brewed concentrated tea. After stirring that, I then add enough cold water to make 1 gallon of tea.
Sweet tea is the main drink in our house. I usually make it, a gallon a day. We always have almost two pitchers in the fridge, and a waiting pot of tea ready on the stove. We make it based on the following, which was handed down from my wife's great aunt in McComb Mississippi. Almost fill a 4 quart magnalite pot with water, drop in 1 Lipton family size teabag. High heat on the stovetop until it boils for a few minutes. Turn off fire, scoop bag out, and add 2 full cups of sugar. Stir for a minute. You MUST let the pot sit for a day before you put it in a pitcher and into the fridge. Fresh pitcher goes to the back, slide the waiting pitcher to the front for use. Although I grew up adding lemon to iced tea, I add nothing. We get rave reviews on our tea.
damn straight. i was at a wedding at kiawah island this past weekend and all i drank was firefly. i never been so drunk in a million plus dollar house before. i'll definitely be making a return trip soon
The BEST sweet tea I've ever had was at a Pal's restaurant. It's a localized chain in upper east Tennessee. SO worth the trip.
