The REAL thing! Quick and easy. I got the recipe from my mother-in-law who lives in the mountains of NC. She serves this tea at her deli and everybody asks for it!

Time 10m

Yield 1 gallon, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 luizianne family-size tea bags
3/4 cup sugar (to taste)
hot water

Steps:

  • Heat a full cup of water in the microwave until boiling hot. I use a large measuring cup.
  • Submerge tea bags in water and let steep 3 minutes or until water gets dark.
  • Pour dark water into pitcher. Refill cup with hot water from the faucet and let steep for 2 minutes.
  • Add sugar to pitcher. Stir until dissolved.
  • Add hot water from cup and than fill the rest of the pitcher with hot water from the sink. Stir and Refrigirate.
  • Enjoy!
  • I refill my cup and let steep 4 times, but it depends on how dark you like your tea. If you are in a rush, 1 steep will do.
