Sweet Tea Recipe

Sweet tea can be as simple or as complicated as you like. It works well for porch sitting on a lazy Sunday just as it does at a BBQ or an afternoon soirée. The best part of making this sweet tea is in the creation of your simple syrup. I infused mine with lemon zest for this recipe, but I also find that berries (strawberries, blueberries), vanilla bean, and cardamom make for great simple syrup flavors. The syrup infusion should depend on what kind of tea you’re using — I like PG Tips black tea, but you could use a favorite flavored tea instead. Note: this tea happens to go very well with vodka, in case you were wondering. Click here to see 24 Southern Dishes That You Need to Know How to Make
