Sweet Tea on Tap
// October 12th, 2009 // No Comments » // My Kitchen
I am a big fan of southern sweet tea, I grew up drinking about a gallon of the stuff every day. I will easily choose sweet tea over any soft drink, That is how much I love sweet tea… well due to my tendency to drink large quantities of sweet tea my wife has almost altogether stopped making it for me…mostly I think because shortly after making some the pitcher is empty again… and I guess it is a little annoying considering how fast the pitcher empties… well to me this is a problem, I love sweet tea… yet I come home and there is none to drink. So I got inventive the other day… and boiled a pot of water and threw about 10 family size teabags in and made some super duper concentrated Tea! I also took the opportunity to super sweeten the super concentrated brew with Raw Agave Nectar which is much healthier and also much sweeter than white sugar. I let the concoction cool and poured it into a bottle with an easy pour pop up lid.. and tossed it into the fridge… Now when I want some instant sweet tea I fill a glass with ice water and pour in about 2 tablespoons of “Sweet Tea Syrup” and voila instant Sweet Tea! It actually ends up making a lot of sweet tea! I figure I got about 5 gallons of sweet tea which equals about 2 weeks worth of sweet tea on demand! Life is good!
