If you put the sugar in the pot while it's hot, it will dissolve easier and you can stir it until it's disolved.

There is another great tea out there, Southern Breeze. Already has Splenda in it and different flavors. My favorite-- Lemon.

Why have I never thought of putting a flavored tea bag in with the regular tea bag??? And I'm 65 years old! Learn something new every day! 😉

I dissolve the sugar in boiling water. After I mix it up I add the tea bags into it. I let the tea bags steep till it’s room temperature, I then squeeze the bags and throw them and then add the rest of the water and a 1/2 lemon

My blending fork came today, so I made your sour cream biscuits. They were fantastic! I quit making homemade years back because they never seemed to turn out very well despite the various recipes. Your recipe and video really made me successful ❤

I use 2 cups of sugar and red diamond tea bags for a gallon of tea

I fill my pitcher with ice, then pour my Lipton hot tea over the ice then stir it and it instantly COLD. I add my plenda when I’m going to have a glass.

You can add your sugar to the hot tea, stir it in and it’s good. I’m a tea lover so you’ve inspired me to make some peach tea! TFS❤❤❤
Love your videos!

[debraday]

Tetley tea is the cleanest purest taste.

[laureencortese]

[Brenda-ldr]

I pour hot tea over ice cubes with added sugar. Yours looks delicious.

[tammyrexroad]

I have to use Splenda. But I remember having sweet southern Ice Tea…..so wonderful in the summer.

[jerrystraight]

I don't use sugar I use a natural no calorie sweetener. But all the same your way tastes good

[nancycopple]

I love y’all sweet tea. It’s the best I think they have spices to and they just came out with a peach tea that is oh it’s delicious get you some y’all sweet tea and try it.

Tammy, did you know that if you put a pinch of baking soda in your tea it will take the bitterness out and it keeps your tea from getting cloudy? ❤

[alandenniston]

Miss Tammy, the funnel tip for making Sweat Tea in my gallon water jugs. Why didn’t I think of that. Love having my homemade sweet tea in the jug its so convenient.

I remember visiting Georgia and going to a restaurant trying to order unsweetened ice tea. 😳 I was quickly reminded that they only served sweet tea! Lol lesson learned.
