Sweet tea

[dickdog1]

Tea must be UNSWEET> MUST have Lime or Lemon-or BOTH. Ice cold is also a must. Must be Fresh brewed, although instant is ok too, but not as good. Lipton or Lusianne Orange Pekoe. I like Black tea blends. For Hot tea, give me chinese Gunpowder, and Green. Also enjoy many other herb teas( peppermint, Chamomile, Anise,Cinnnamon, hops, etc.)

Only one way to have tea. Grandma’s house, with a pitcher outside cooking in the sun with two Lipton tea bags in it. Bring it in. 4 pieces of ice, two packets of sweet n low, in her clear plastic 40 year old glasses. It ain’t tea unless it’s made at grandma’s.

It tastes even better with fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, fried okra, and fries. I could die fat and happy at grandma’s house.

As much an essay as anything else.


StuartHughes (and other Texans, a few of you Oklahomans), you may enjoy this site, John Raven brings up plenty of memories. Ever had a burger/fries/shake at The Health Camp in Waco? I've had a lot of fun with this site.

I'm with Stuart, no fancy shmancy stuff here. I take 3-4 plain ole Lipton tea bags, toss them in the Bunn, add enough water to make half a pot, pour that into a gallon pitcher, fill the rest of the way with water, add sugar to taste and serve over ice.
