Kimberly's Southern-Style Sweet Iced Tea

This is absolutely delicious and my favorite summer drink. I call it southern style sweet tea, because Southerners make wonderful sweet tea, and love it so much. However, my mother has been making wonderful sweet iced tea since I was little, and it is certainly not a southerner!

My Story:

When I was little, I had an English nanny directly from England. The first time she offered to make my mother a cup of tea in our house, she noticed that my mother did not have PGTips tea. This is a British favorite and is imported from England, but in our grocery stores in Canada (especially A & P). She has quite a big fuss about us not the right kind of tea, and said that we have never drank a large cup of tea, until we had PG Tips. Well, what followed was that she threw out all of our other brands of plain tea. When she came the next day, they stocked us with PG Tips.

We have to ensure the faithful since, and we always, that westocked up to this day.

*** As you see in the ingredients list, I use graphic recommend PG Tips for iced tea.
