Everything is sweeter in the South! Join host Carrie Shankweiler as she shows you how to make an Alabama favorite -- Sweet Tea!

MATERIALS

3 decaffeinated tea bags
2 cups water
1 cup sugar

TOOLS

Large spoon
Pitcher
Large pot

REMEMBER THAT IT’S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS COOK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE OBJECTS THAT COULD BE HARMFUL, LIKE A KNIFE, SO DON’T EVER ATTEMPT TO DO THESE RECIPES ALONE.

  1. Pour your water into a large pot.
  2. Place the tea bags in the water.
  3. Place the pot on the stove and bring the water to a boil. This will infuse the water with the flavor of the tea.
  4. Once the water comes to a boil, remove the tea bags with a large spoon.
  5. Have an adult helper remove the pot from the stove and pour the tea-flavored water into a pitcher.
  6. Add your sugar to the pitcher and stir it in with your spoon to dissolve it.
  7. Once the sugar is completely dissolved, fill the rest of the pitcher with cold water. Fill it to about an inch from the top. Stir it around a couple more times.
  8. Serve your finished tea over ice in a glass. You can even garnish it with an orange slice or fresh mint if you like. Cheers!
