Southern Sweet Tea – #southerncomfort
The best thing from the south is sweet tea on hot days. For the real southern tea they would add saccharin tablets but then we found out about saccharin. Now you can add an 1/8 tsp of baking soda. I think this is a little, no a lot, light on the sugar and maybe the tea bags. Of course it's up to you so adjust the basic recipe as needed!
