Welcome to this week’s Works for Me Wednesday here at Little Jack’s Corner!
Ok, I’ve been making sweet tea the same way – like my mom – for years now. The process from start to finish isn’t that long, maybe an hour from bag to fridge, but for a lazy cook like myself I wanted to find a way to shorten even that!
And the other week, I did. I don’t remember where I actually saw the recipe, but it goes like this:
- Pour 1 and a half cups of sugar in a gallon pitcher.
- Fill said pitcher up with very hot tap water while stirring to dissolve the sugar.
- Take out 6 regular size tea bags (or 3 family size) and twist the string together.
- Set the tea bags in the pitcher.
- Cover pitcher and set in fridge.
- Get thirsty a few hours later, head to fridge, pour a tall glass and enjoy!
You’ll want to remove and throw away the tea bags a few hours later, but otherwise nothing else needs to be done. I am amazed at how great this tastes! It’s just as good, if not better, tasting than my original recipe which was always a chore for me (remember, I’m a lazy cook!).
If you have issues with drinking hot tap water, you can always boil the water first to heat it up, but otherwise the recipe stays the same.
And that’s what Works for Me!
I also did a works for me wednesday at my other blog, www.HomeschoolFever.com in which I told how to convert MS Word documents to PDF documents for free. Why not head over and check it out?

This will sound strange but I always wondered what sweet tea was. For some reason I thought it was similar to stretched sweet tea, but that is served hot.
Anyway thanks for this, I might actually have a go at makin it to see what it tastes like.

Leanne » hehe…would you believe I have never heard of “stretched” sweet tea? what is that?
I do like hot tea, although my preference is for ice cold sweet tea. It’s made from crushed tea leaves and when water is filtered through it, it produces tea drink, just like ground coffee produces coffee. I really don’t know how to describe the taste, but I do love it…perhaps that’s because I’m southern though. My hubby is from New York and he could care less about sweet tea.
Sounds pretty FAST and EASY to me! I love sweet tea.
