That would be - TEA.
Brewed strong and, well... SWEET.
(Sweet, as in, put-me-into-a-diabetic-coma-and-rot-my-teeth-SWEET)
Need I say more?
Well Hush My Mouth and Pass Me a Glass!
You Will Need:
8-10 tea bags or equivalent in loose leaf tea (if you want to keep it real, use Luzianne or Black tea)
2-3 cups of water
1 cup* granulated sugar
Small saucepan with lid
1-gallon sized pitcher
Directions:
Combine sugar and water in saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, thus making a simple syrup.
Remove sauce pan from heat. Add tea. Cover and let the tea steep as little as 10-20 minutes (or up to 2 hours!).
Pour the tea syrup into your pitcher and fill with water to make 1 gallon. (If using tea bags give 'em a squeeze to extract every last drop of tea juice.)
Serve by pouring over ice in individual glasses.
Enjoy!
(*You want about 1 cup of sugar per gallon of tea.)

My hubby loves the sweet tea. Maybe I will be nice and try your recipe out for him...
Thanks for sharing!
Yummmmmmmmmmmmm.
A new transplant to Texas, I now appreciate the sweet tea. They drink it in gallons.

You're missing the pinch of baking soda that my Georgia college roommate used to put in. :)
Kendra -
I read about that! Supposed to cut out the bitterness from the long brewing time.
I'll try it with my next batch and see if it makes a difference. :)
Err, I think you want the following recipe for "Tea":
1 shot vodka
1 shot rum
1 shot gin
1 shot tequila
1 shot triple sec
1 shot sour mix
2-3 shots cola
Mix up, pour over ice into large cup. Enjoy, you ain't going nowhere :)
I love you right now!
