Southern Sweet Tea


As a southern girl I have grown up on sweet tea. I know a lot of people have grown up on hot tea but not down here. Here it’s all sweet tea. I love sweet tea. I love it better than soda and anyone who knows me knows that’s saying a lot.

When I found this recipe I was so excited because I forgot how important the baking soda is for sweet tea. It’s important because it keeps the tea fresh and crisp and adds a nice flavor to the tea. If you have never had a glass of good sweet tea let me highly recommend you giving this a try.

Ingredients:
  • 5 Family size tea bags
  • 4 cups boiling water
  • 12 cups cool water
  • 1 1/2 – 2 cups sugar.
  • 1/4 teaspoon – Baking Soda (this IS the SECRET Ingredient!!)

Directions:

  1. Sprinkle baking soda into a plastic or glass pitcher
  2. Add Tea bags to the pitcher/baking soda, 
  3. Pour Boiling water over tea bags,
  4. Cover and allow to steep for 15 minutes.
  5. Remove and toss out Tea Bags,
  6. Add Sugar and Stir until completely dissolved.
  7. Add Cool Water.
  8. Refrigerate until cold and ready to drink.
  9. Serve over ice,

Pink Panties

This is one of my favorite adult drinks. It’s very easy to make and if you like lemonade you will like this drink. It’s delicious and has a nice kick. It’s one of those drinks that you don’t taste the alcohol so I suggest taking it easy because it will hit you before you know it. No one wants to catch you in your pink panties! Ha!



Serves up to 6
Ingredients:
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can frozen pink lemonade concentrate
  • 12 fluid ounces whip cream vodka (I use Pinnacle)
  • 1 cup cool whip
  • 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
  • 1 cup crushed ice

Directions:
Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth, the add to glasses.

Classic Pina Colada

This is such a great recipe! Delicious!! I used the concoction maker to make this recipe and it came out great. I can’t tell you how much ice and water to use because it will depend on the consistency for you but if you add it as you need it you will have a great pina colada.


A funny question I got from my neighbor once we made these was…. why aren’t they white? Pina Coladas are white! When I get them in a restaurant they are always white. 

Her question made me laugh! These won’t be white because they are made with fresh ingredients not chemicals.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:
  • 1 (12-ounce) can coconut milk (not water)
  • 2 cups flaked sweetened coconut
  • 2 cups cubed fresh pineapple (Frozen)
  • 2 1/2 cups ice cubes (More or less as needed
  • Water as needed
  • 1 cup blanco/white rum
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey (more if needed)

Directions:

Combine coconut milk, coconut flakes, pineapple, rum, honey and pineapple juice, and water as needed (For consistency) and blend!
