Sweet Tea

I love to drink tea!  I however am not really a sweet drinker.  I guess I am grateful that I don't live in the south!  Nothing against the drink, it is just not my cup of tea!.  I like my tea black as you would say.  I don't even put lemon in my tea.  I however was going to make some sweet tea for our church dinner as it is a favorite of a lot of people.  I found this recipe for Southern Sweet Tea and thought that someone from the south should be able to make a good sweet tea.
So I got out my tea bags and my pot.  I measured out the water, the sugar and the counted the tea bags.  I followed the recipe and then tasted my creation.  Yep, it was sweet! I can say that 10 cups of sugar should do it, right?

  See for yourself what you think of the recipe!!
