Since caffeine now tends to cause disturbance in my sleep (ain't aging just grand?), I sometimes do a half and half tea of regular and decaf, and I also sometimes exchange out some of the regular tea for green tea. Start there and adjust to your own personal preference on the next batch. A conversion to individual tea bags should be about 3 per family bag. If you don't have that piece of Pyrex in your collection, you should get it! Add four family size Luzianne tea bags and steep for 6 minutes. I use filtered Kentwood water just because we like the taste of it better over tap and I boil my water in a large 8 cup Pyrex measuring cup, in the microwave. Here's how.īring 8 cups of water to a boil. Wow, that's a lot of yakkin' about tea! Let's just make some for pete's sake.
Milo sweet tea full#
Since so many of you love using the family size bags, that's how I wrote it and since we can't be foolin' around with single glasses and 2-quart pitchers in the heat of a Deep South summer, I wrote it for the full gallon. I make this as a concentrate, similar to my sweet tea.
Y'all already know my favorite tea bags for iced tea, but I figured I'd better do a couple of step by steps so you'll see I actually did refill the jug. Now, in all fairness, I haven't worked out the cost, though I am making the assumption that making your own no to low calorie tea surely is a little less expensive, after-all you are paying for the convenience for a premade product, but I admit, I'll still enjoy the convenience every once in awhile.
Is that a bad thing? Not if I can get him away from drinking full sugar sweet tea and cold drinks for just a bit, I really don't think so. Let's just say The Cajun liberally consumed my impostor tea with enthusiasm. So I took the empty jugs, mixed up a homemade batch of no calorie tea with Splenda in them, stuck the jug in the fridge, and didn't say a thing. he was drinking the Splenda sweetened Milo's. I made a copycat and The Cajun didn't notice!Īs many times as I've made a pitcher of unsweetened tea, The Cajun, being a sweet tea lover, would rarely touch it. Like many of you, we too are watching our sugar intake these days, so while we enjoy a glass of sweet tea once in awhile, we have been making pitchers of unsweetened tea for years and adding a sugar replacement per glass. Īs much tea as we consume in this humid Coastal environment that I live in, sweet tea has become all but an occasional treat in our household these day. There is no doubt that we are still very endeared to our sweet tea in The South, but these days you have to specify - sweet, unsweet, half and half sweet and unsweet, half and half, tea and lemonade, or, hot! I don't have a huge sweet tooth, and find most everybody else's sweet tea to be far too sweet for me, so when The Cajun and I eat out anywhere, I always order the half sweet and half unsweet and that suits me just fine. It used to be you ordered tea anywhere in The South, and iced sweet tea was what you both expected and got, without you having to say so.
