Sweet Tea.


It is HOT ! I'm home in Malaysia for the 27th of June holiday and man I am not used to this scorching weather. Well, in order to survive this sudden climate and location change, I decided to look up refreshing refreshments. During my search, I came across Sweet Tea and I thought I would give this recipe a go:

{ Sweet Tea }
ingredients:
1 ounce loose black tea
1 quart hot water
simple syrup
5 cups sugar
3 cups cold water

the" what to do "
Infuse loose tea into hot water for 4-5 minutes. Strain tea into room temp water. Sweeten with simple syrup if desired. For simple syrup, in a small non-reactive pot combine 5 cups of cp;d water. Slowly bring to a boil and add 6 sliced lemons and a few springs of fresh mint. Remove from heat. Allow to cool 10 minutes and strain.
