Recipe Review : Southern Sweet Tea - Duck Dynasty Style

Southern Sweet Tea - Duck Dynasty Style

I'm going to be completely honest and say we drink a LOT of tea at home.  Normally we just grab a gallon (or 2) from Turkey Hill because you honestly can't go wrong with Turkey Hill Brand!  I personally love their Lemonade, and get VERY frustrated if I go to get some and it's all gone.

I found the recipe for Southern Sweet Tea while on my normal day-to-day adventures of Pinterest.  I pin a LOT of recipes and try to make as many of them as possible...only problem is that I pin like 50 a day and only ever make about 10 total a week, so it's going to be a long process.

So the real reason I wanted to try this tea was because according to the Pinterest pin...this is the recipe Duck Dynasty uses!  We have just recently become fans of the show, and find ourselves watching re-runs a lot and laughing at the TV for hours.

Mommy & Tots Review

Overall we really LOVED this Sweet Tea.  We've tried plenty of recipes for Sweet Tea in the past and while they tasted good and were nice and sweet, none of them had the distinct 'Sweet Tea' flavor.  We're convinced the Baking Soda has something to do with this!

This is from now on our Go-To Sweet Tea Recipe and we urge you to try it, even if you aren't a fan of Duck Dynasty!

Is this Tot approved? : I would say no, due to the amount of sugar, and the caffeine from the tea bags, we won't even attempt it.  Our son already bounces off the walls without the extra boost!  It is safe to say that baby thinks it's delicious though, because every time I take a sip of it she bounces joyfully in my tummy!

Mommy & Tots was not paid in any way to review this recipe, it was just done out of pure curiosity of the taste buds.
