Sweet tea is the bees knees

Well it is the official non-alcoholic drink of the Southern states. I am southern but had to grow into it!

We usually use brown/red sugar instead of white because it adds a certain sweet smell to it. I miss Texas, I miss sweet tea.

So painfully sweet it made me cry... but, cut out (or significantly cut down) the sugar, and this is a perfect recipe/method for lemon ice tea.

Im from the south and I have never made sweet tea this way... but let me just say yay for sweet tea! I love being southern

GOD bless America, The South will rise again!!!

Whoever does the editing for these videos is a champion.

I love watching thirsty for videos. I've never made any of the drinks (I know, I'm missing out, sue me, I'm lazy. And poor) I just find the videos incredibly relaxing

I like how they revealed next week's drink slowly and deliberately, like they knew how much we wanted to see it

As a native Southerner I can honestly say I have never made sweet tea like this, but I approve!

The first bit of culture shock a Southerner has up north is going into a restaurant, asking for a Sweet Tea, and receiving a glass of unsweetened iced tea with sugar packets. Every Mom 'n Pop, rib joint, grocery store restaurant (Piggly Wiggly, anyone?), and EVEN FAST FOOD keep sweet tea on tap. I owe my love of all tea to having sweet tea down at my Great-grandad's farm. If you can get it, American Classic Tea is excellent; it's the tea I grew up with since it grew right up the road!

In Indonesia, we call it ES TEH MANIS :D The only difference is that we don't use anything as garnish Only black tea, water, granulated sugar/simple syrup and ice cubes

We put water and tea bags in a pot turn on the oven and when it starts trying to boil over we pour it in our jug with 2 cups of sugar and add water til the jug is full, lemon is awesome and so is mint it's just whatever the person likes all tea is able to be mended to someone's unique taste ^^ love this can't wait for boba!!

I'm a born and raised Texan and I've never made it like that, but if its sweet enough it's good enough for me!

i LOVE these "Thirsty For" videos. So beautifully made and interesting.

I love these videos! I look forward to them every week. Thanks!

hm... i'm from tennessee, and i've never seen it made this way. i tried this recipe, and it was a tad sweeter than how it's usually made. maybe use 3/4 cup or 1/2 cup of syrup if you're gonna make it like this. we usually just dump the sugar in the tea, though. no mint, and usually no lemon. you HAVE to use luzianne, btw :)

chloe carter I'm from TN too & I was just thinking this! Granny taught me to dump the sugar in when the tea was still hot, let it melt/blend, then do the rest. It's not as tooth achingly sweet - and def no mint, but sometimes we use lemon...just not on the older people cuz they like throwing the slices and going, "the hell...I ain't ask for no fruit in my tea!"

Who els saw them in the reflection at 1:09

I'm Southern, and I approve of this video even though I make it sliiiightly different. We just dump the sugar in the pitcher and pour the tea over it when it's done boiling, though we let our tea steep for about an hour for nice and strong tea.

I love how they slowly revealed next weeks video! It's like they know how badly we wanna see it!

you don't know how long i've waited to see the boba episode! so excited!

These videos make me happy everytime!

LOL! I'm born n raised in NC and this was awesome. I hope someone who has never tried it tries it since it was so simple. Earl Grey and English breakfast are awesome as well if regular black tea isn't available. The Mint with iced sweetened Early Grey is lovely.

I love the vibe in these videos

yum it tastes so good thank you for the recpe

LOL I love how they slowly spelled boba because they knew how badly we want a video on it!

Finally so many people were requesting bubble tea

Easy reciepe... I love the song...every time I make this tea i play this video for the song .. my in-laws who were not into sweet tea drinkers are now requesting my sweet tea every time I come over. Thank you so much for the recipe. oh and adding the baking soda is a nice touch 👍...

Amen to that! I was born in Dallas, and most people have only a trace of an accent if any... other States in the south have far stronger accents, but people talk without knowing...

I have been born and raised in Georgia and my favorite way to have iced tea is to mix it with lemonade, called an Arnold Palmer after the golfer

Grew up in the South...love sweet tea

you guys deserves a grammy ,keep making those juices!

I make sweet tea almost every other day but I have never seen it made like this, but it sounds amazing.

Luzianne is the best for sweet tea. Most southern people don't use mint, but it's delicious. Lemon is 50/50. Some people like it, others don't. Now, do a video for an Arnold Palmer.

Mmm looks so good

hell yeah! hailing from georgia, drinking sweet tea now. I'm so happy you guys did this video!

I love how your videos are like art pieces: beautiful filmography and lovely music with useful instructions. Keep it up:)

I used to have an O'Keefe & Merrit stove! I miss that thing. It was awesome!

omg its boba next week!! i've been waiting forever for this! can't wait!!

Love me some sweet tea! Can't wait for boba!!

Living in Ga, We dont even make simple syrup. Just add the Sugar when you have the hot water and the teabags in, Works just fine and we never have the grains left over. and yes. Luzianne IS the best

I loved the intro/editing & music to this... soo good!

it tastes so good thanks

i love that easter egg!

YAYAYAYY boba next week!!!! I love these videos!!

I know right! never seen it made like this....ever. tried it anyway, and it made a good pot, but then i did it the way i was taught, and it was soo much better.

I love it because I make sweet tea on a regular basis. It's like my crack. I live in Kansas, so naturally, we live for sweet tea down here.

I boil 5 tea bags in a reasonable size pot with water then when it starts to boil I turn of the heat and let it cool a bit I take a pitcher put about 5 scoops of 1/3 cups in the pitch pour tea in add water stir and mmm delicious tea

Def making this- first time Im seeing a recipe where I actually have all of the ingredients at home!

thanks for the heads up!

There's two ways to make southern sweet tea actually. This one is more common in Texas. Many people in areas like Mississippi, Louisiana , and Florida do it a different way. Saying they're the same can inspire a reaction similar to calling a Texas man's barbecue the same as a Mississippian or Tennessee man's smokin all the same thing. Its basically the same ingredients done a different way but many argue it makes a world of difference.

Simply teh 'o' ais.

I just made this and it came out really delicious. Now I have a use for the big box of black tea sitting around in my kitchen... Thank you! Great video. Greetings from Germany

I love the straw you're using! So cute :D

BUBBLE TEA!!! YAY!!!!! Can't wait for next week!!!! xx

cant wait for next sunday

This is almost exactly how my family makes it (Southern Missouri), except we skip the simple syrup step. Instead, we add the sugar to the steeped tea while it's still hot and stir until dissolved, then add the cold water and ice. It's faster and the sugar still doesn't settle.

Carolina girl myself, and we only use one cup. However, if you use more tea bags, and let them steep longer, you need more sugar to counteract the bitter tannins in the strong tea. Everyone's home recipe is a little different.

Watching this as I'm sipping on an ice cold glass of homemade sweet tea...the Texan in me...

awesome song

Sweet Tea! I Love You!

I have recently gone to the south, and sweet tea is AMAZING!!!!! Then again, I have more than one sweet tooth....

Ah I love being in the South. And I can't wait for next weeks drink!! :D

you can drink it hot/cold.. it's really nice. i never liked milk tea with sugar (i don't like sweet things) you also can try twinings' infusion tea (lemon and ginger) with honey.. it's really nice after meal or when you're having cold. hope you like it!

The filming is gorgeous!

Omg can't wait for boba!

Great recipe!

Notice the simple syrup is made first? That's so that it will be cooling. Sweet tea will come out just fine using their method; your method; or, sun tea. ALSO: steeping torn mint leaves makes a lovely sweet tea

I LITERALLY SCREAMED FOR THE BOBA PREVIEW, I CAN'T WAIT

thumbs up for the shadow in the kettle :D loved the recipe.

Yay an American drink :) I love sweet tea

Wow good catch.

I wish everyone would stop complaining. You can make tea any ways you want. Seriously guys, it's just tea.

Hi back to you waving at the reflection on the kettle at 1:10! LOL!

Can't wait to see the Boba drink!!

OMG I'm looking fwd to next weeks episode!!!! Boba!!!!!

Ricardo Velez No we put tea bags in boiling water for a few mins then pour it in the pitcher with sugar and put cold water with it and thats it

Sweet tea from bojangles is the bomb!!

Gotta love sweet tea

Yeehawww for sweet tea! And super stoked for Boba :)

Boba yay I am excited

Near the end of this I started saying "Please do milk tea next. please do milk tea next." Thank you.

I make mine by boiling water, then adding 12 teabags to a big pickle jar (clean, obv), and then pour boiling water right over it, let it sit for 2-6 hours depending on how strong you like it (Mine sits for 6) and then adding a cup of sugar, but we have a big pitcher and I like my tea slightly bitter. :D

I don't know why I screamed when I saw the next drink xD Can't wait!

Cute ice cubes! :)

I live in the deep south and I also use mason jars as glasses. :)

Yasss boba!!

Camera-person waving in the reflection of the kettle, you're a winner! :D Sweet tea's not a thing I like, it just tastes like sugar water. I prefer lemon tea, or an arnold palmer, with a small amount of sugar.

different amounts of ice go with taste preference. if you like it strong and sweet, don't use a lot of ice but if you like a more mild sweet tea, fill the ice to the top of your glass.

Oooooooh can't waitfor the next one ^_^

Aww that is the cutest thing lol

I never had sweet tea! I might try making it tomorrow :)

yay boba!

Yes, it would probably be better! You don't have to worry about the ice melting and making the tea bitter!

KY fellow here, and we use 4 bags and let it steep for a while longer, so we use more sugar. Don't tell me that every southern state is gonna chime in with their variant.

First, Iam from the south...and I dont make my tea like that. I boil water with the tea bags and will that is boiling I put sugar in the tea jug. When the tea is done, I pour the hot tea in the jug and stir. Then I fill up the rest of the jug with cold water and place the tea bags in it to sit in the jug( you dont have to do this). I also up a tiny bit of lemon juice. Aaaand its done.

thank you ^^

Now the rest of us do, yay!

Looks like it needs more sugar XD
