Moms Non-Muddy Mississippi Iced Tea
From rml 17 years ago
- 5 minutes to make
- Serves 20
This is my Mom's Iced tea recipe. I play with it all of the time...adding one bag of ginger or Constant Comment or Lemon Zinger. My Mom's version is never "muddy" mine, however frequently is.
Ingredients
- 2 Pans shopping list
- water shopping list
- 3 Family size tea bags (your brand preference) shopping list
- 3/4 cups sugar shopping list
How to make it
- Fill pan almost 3/4 to the top with water and bring to a boil.
- Turn heat off and add tea bags - brand of your choice. I use Lipton and anything else I have in the pantry.
- This can steep until you're happy with the color. I usually forget about it until I wander back into the kitchen a few hours later.
- Bring another small pan of water (1/4 to fill the "tea" pan) to a boil and add sugar. (I always cheat and add less sugar).
- Boil sugar water for 3 - 4 minutes until clear.
- Add sugar water to tea pan and stir.
- Sit until completely cool. Not you, the tea...then put the tea in the fridge.
- P.S. The Sugar water should be added while the tea is still hot. I've done it both ways and everyone still drank it.

Someone posted a tea recipe a few months ago and said to let it steep for a good while. Someone pounced on her and said that was nasty that you are only supposed to let it steep for 5 minutes. I am like you and forget about it until I wander back in ...more
