This is how I make 2 quarts of sweet tea, In about 3 cups boiling water I add 8 small tea bags. I let it steep/sit for an hour. I use 1/2 cup sugar but some use much more than that! I add the rest of the water stir well and refrigerate it.
That's sweet tea. In the south (hot & humid) ICED sweet tea is the regional
drink of many.

I wasn't on top of the post but just saw it. Thanks for answering that! Boiled peanuts sound like they'd be quite different taste sensation/experience than the standards one gets at the grocer up here. I suppose maybe we can get them green at a bulk store maybe?? Never heard of the boiling thing though. I would like those I know it!
Aha..sweet tea. A summery drink mostly? I'm from the land where cold weather and hot tea are the greatest of pals. Our summers back east can range from 55/70F and cooler right on the coast so 'bilin' the kittle' is a frequent thing any time of year. I'm in SW Ontario right now. The summer heat here can be bad...on occasion in the low 90s and the humidity is moiderous. Especially for a cold climate preferer. Iced or sweet tea would be a popular summer drink. I know the iced variety is. Sweet tea sound delish. I'm going to go boil my kettle right now...all this tea talk!
