Sweet Tea

Cultural Context

Sweet tea is a quintessential beverage in the Southern United States, often enjoyed during hot summer days and social gatherings. Its origins trace back to the early 19th century when tea became popular in America, particularly in the South. Sweet tea is not just a drink but a cultural staple, symbolizing hospitality and warmth. Today, it is widely enjoyed across the country, with variations including flavored teas and different sweeteners.

4 servings
Servings4
16 small black tea bags or 4 family size black tea bags
1 quart water
2 cups Magic Baker's blend
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1

Pour 1 quart of water into a large pot.

2

Turn the heat to high and bring the water to a boil.

3

Once boiling, add 4 family size tea bags (or 16 small tea bags) to the pot.

4

Cover the pot with a lid and remove it from heat.

5

Set a timer for 1 hour and let the tea bags steep.

6

After 1 hour, remove the lid and carefully squeeze the tea bags to extract the liquid, being cautious not to over-squeeze to avoid bitterness.

7

Pour in 2 cups of Magic Baker's blend sweetener slowly while stirring to dissolve it into the tea concentrate.

8

If the mixture cooled too much, gently heat it on low to medium heat until the sweetener dissolves without boiling.

9

Add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda to the tea and stir to remove cloudiness and enhance flavor.

10

Transfer the tea concentrate into a half-gallon mason jar.

11

Fill the mason jar with plain water to make a gallon of tea, ensuring to fill it to the appropriate line.

12

Seal the jar with a plastic lid and gently shake it side to side to mix.

13

Optionally, let the tea rest in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.
