how to make sweet tea.

when i married jeremiah, i learned there was a specific way to make sweet tea. 

this is how the austins make sweet tea:

1. start with your teapot, seven Lipton tea bags and a cup of sugar (for a special occasion, use more sugar). 

2. put the teabags into the teapot (i remove the tags). 

3. fill the teapot with two thirds water and bring to a boil.

4. once boiling, pour in the sugar. bring to a boil again. after bringing to a second boil, remove from the eye and let sit for a while. 

5. pour tea into a pitcher. refill teapot (with teabags) with cold water and pour into pitcher. repeat until pitcher is full.
