Tapp Sweet Tea
Ingredients
3 Lipton Gallon Tea Bags6 cups sugar
3 Gallons Hot Water
Instructions
Go to the kitchen and get a tea container. Place the container next to the sink with the disposal and turn on only the hot water. Put 3 One Gallon Tea Bags and 6 cups sugar in the container. Run the water out of the trigger sprayer into the sink until it is scalding hot. At this point, run the water into the container until it reaches the 3 Gallon mark on the side of the container. Shut off the water, close the lid, and let the tea steep for 10-12 minutes.... perfect sweet tea every time. Makes 3 gallons, enough for 20 people. For unsweetened tea, leave out the sugar.....NO MORE WAITING FOR BOILING WATER, NO MORE LIFTING HEAVY POTS AND TRYING TO EMPTY THEM INTO THE CONTAINER, NO MORE SPILLING TEA ALL OVER YOURSELF AND THE KITCHEN AS YOU CARRY IT FROM THE STOVE TO THE SINK!! QUIT DOING IT THE HARD WAY, AND LEARN THIS NEW TRICK, IT IS SO SIMPLE.
In order to cool the tea down quickly, you can also leave out 1/2 gallon of water and substitute crushed ice after the tea has steeped. No need to take the bags out if you are going to serve the tea immediately.
