Readers' Choice: Sweet Tea

Aside from your grandmother, who makes your favorite sweet tea in Holly Springs and Hickory Flat?

 

Long Island is famous for its iced tea, but the South is famous for sweet tea.

Now we want to know who has your favorite sugar-to-tea ratio.

I know what you're thinking: "Nobody can make sweet tea like my grandmother."

Well, you're wrong. My grandmother's sweet tea is better than your grandmother's sweet tea.

So let's just take them out of the running.

Your choices this week are:

Frosty Frog, hands down, has the best sweet tea besides my own! Theirs is perfect, not too sweet and syrupy, but not lacking sugar either. It takes 6 Lipton (yes, the brand is important) tea bags and 1 1/2 cups sugar per gallon to make the best. Letting the tea steep for 15 minutes is also critical to the recipe. If you want cheap...McDonald's tea is close... if you mix it with 2 parts sweet and 1 part unsweetened.
