Sweet Tea

Sweet tea isn't something that people drink the the Midwest at all. Last summer was the first time I had made sweet tea and I absolutely loved it. My biggest issue was that there are so many different recipes online that I had trouble picking which one to make. This recipe from Food Network was what I ended up making. It is super easy and really tasty, which is why I decided to share it you all.
