Mama Ann’s Southern Sweet Tea Recipe

Remove tags from tea bags so the metal won’t spark in the microwave. The staples that hold the bag together at the top of the bag will be submerged in the water. Push the two bags down into the water so they aren’t floating on top.

Microwave on high for 4 minutes. Let steep while still in the microwave for 6 minutes. Put one cup sugar (or however sweet you like it – can even substitute Splenda) in the bottom of pitcher.

Squeeze that good tea from tea bags by squishing with a spoon. Remove tea bags. Pour liquid over sugar. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved. Fill remainder of pitcher with water and stir again. Squeeze half a lemon into tea and stir again.

In a pinch you can use the store bought lemon juice in the plastic lemon.

This Southern sweet tea is just like I like it. Good and strong – and perfectly sweetened! Plus super easy since you can just make it easily in the microwave.

Double recipe for a crowd.

About Hodgepodgemom

Tricia faces a daily dose of chaos homeschooling five children. The biggest lesson she’s learned? At the end of the day – when the dishes are put away and the children are tucked in bed – truly what matters is each child’s relationship with the Lord. Raising children is a God-given privilege and, folks, the time is short.
