Trisha Yearwood's Sweet Tea

Submitted by CHEFDLH

"This ice tea comes from Trisha Yearwood's book Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood. It is a "classic Southern cooler." It was also featured in LHJ magazine June 2010. Serve it at bbqs, cook outs, picnics, everyday at home, or keep some in the fridge for when peple pop in. The secret is in the steeping and in the addition of very cold water. Orange slices make a nice presentation. It is not too sweet & yet goes down smooth. Enjoy! ChefDLH"
