Sun Tea

Saturday Mar 29, 2008

Submitted by star2fire

1 gal purified water 8 Lipton tea bags
1 c. sugar

1. Drink some of the water from the jug to make room for the tea bags. Put the tea bags down in the jug & put the lid back on the jug. Put the whole jug out in the yard somewhere sunny & leave it there for about 8 hours.
2. When you bring it in, take the tea bags out. You might need to pour out a little bit more to make room for the sugar. Add sugar while the tea is still warm because the sugar will dissolve nicely in the warm tea.
3. Shake it until the sugar disappears, then put it in the fridge & let it chill down. Enjoy!

Southern Sweet Tea

Saturday Mar 29, 2008

Submitted by Foghorn Leghorn

4 tea bags 2 c. sugar

1. Take small boiling pot & fill ¾ high with water. Heat water on high & let it come to a rolling boil. Take off the string that is on the tea bags. This is very important: if you do not take off the strings they will catch on fire. When the water comes to rolling boil, add the 4 tea bags to the boiling water & place the lid on the pot.
2. After about 30 seconds take the pot off of the stove & place it on a cool surface such as another burner or trivet. Let the tea in the pot steep for about 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on your taste. Leaving it in longer will make the tea stronger but no less than 30 minutes.
3. Take your pitcher & place the sugar in the bottom of the pitcher. There are 2 ways to take the final step in this procedure. You can fill the pitcher ½ way with water & stir & dissolve the sugar this way or you can fill the pitcher with ice & let the hot tea dissolve the sugar & ice. The latter way will let you drink the tea sooner than just adding the water & stirring the sugar. Take your steeped tea & remove lid carefully; the tea will still be hot.
4. Place a colander over the pitcher & pour the hot tea into the pitcher. Stir the tea, making sure that the sugar in the pitcher has dissolved thoroughly. Place some ice in a glass & pour. You may add a lemon wedge into the glass for flavor. Drink & enjoy!

Basically make the Jell-O per the instructions on the box, with the exception that you use ¾ of the total liquid. Mix the jello powder with ¾ c. of hot water (instead of a full cup) & dissolve completely. Then instead of adding cold water & the liquor of your choice, but only ¾ of a cup.
Pour into plastic 1 oz condiment cups, available at most restaurant supply shops, & let sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours before serving.

Suggested Jello / Liquor combinations:
Cherry with Southern Comfort
Black Cherry with Southern Comfort
Blue Raspberry with Absolut
