Simple Sweet Tea

"This is my (southern) wife's recipe, she introduced me to it when we first met, and I have been drinking it daily ever since. In the last few years due minor sugar reductions we have lowered the sugar level from 2/3 cup to 1/2. I really have not noticed much of a difference. I still sometimes like really sweet southern sweet tea, but this is a daily drinker."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

As my moniker might display, I am a chef and I work in a laboratory. I have working a healthcare lab for the past 18 years. With the exception of the two years that took a break and went culinary school. Let me tell you, working with food is fun, but it really does not pay the bills. So I went back into healthcare. Now I just cook for my friends and family. One thing that I learned in culinary school is once you have the techniques of cooking, you can cook just about anything. I am not saying go out and spend tens of thousands of dollars on culinary school. But try to learn as much about cooking techniques as you can, take a class at your local continuing education location, read a lot, there are many great teaching cooking shows (Good Eats), and of course there is always YouTube. But most of all, cook what you love, and have fun. Do not let cooking be a "I have 30 minutes to make a meal before I have to do X." Cook on your days off or weekends, play some music, have some wine, but have fun. If it does not turn out, do not get mad, but try to figure out why it did not turn out. It usually either a bad recipe, or bad technique.
