Regular Taste And Syrups
Southern Sweet Tea
What's the secret to smooth-tasting iced tea? A pinch of baking soda! It makes a world of difference in a pitcher of freshly brewed sweet tea by neutralizing the tannins in black tea, giving it a smoother taste.
Ingreadient
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 8 cups hot water
- 4 family-sized black tea bags
- 1 cup water
- 3/4 cup sugar
Direction
- Add the baking soda and just-boiled hot water to a heat-proof pitcher. Steep your tea bags for about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the simple syrup by combining the water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and remove from heat.
- Remove the tea bags from your pitcher, squeezing out as much liquid as possible with tongs.
- Pour in the simple syrup, stir, and let cool at room temperature. Refrigerate the tea and serve with ice.
