Sweet Tea!!

I'm definitely a southern girl...which means I LOVE my sweet tea.  I made a picture up tonight at a friend's house with Ideal and thought I'd post it.

Boil 1/2 gallon of water.  Once boiling, turn off fire and add 3 family size bags of tea and 1/4 tsp of baking soda.  Let brew for 15 minutes.  Then remove the bags and add 2 cups of Ideal and stir until disolved.  Pour into your pitcher and then add another 1/2 gallon of cold water.  Pour over ice in a glass and enjoy!!
