I worked at Cracker Barrel for 11 years and we add 5 cups of sugar to the tea 🤣. This is how I make my southern sweet tea. Boil 3 family size bags of Luizianne iced tea in 2 cups of water on the stove. Remove from heat when it comes to a full boil. In a 2 gallon pitcher add 2 cups of granulated sugar and then pour the hot tea water over the sugar. Don’t squeeze the tea bags too much or it will be bitter. Fill up the pitcher with water, stir well to dissolve sugar and allow to cool in the fridge.
As far as the tea, we dump loads of sugar in while it’s still warm. I used to dump extra in when I worked at Raising Canes as far the bathroom spray, we have a brand in America called Poo Pouri and I absolutely love it! It eliminates the smell completely!
I bought an iced tea jug that has a built-in steeper and use it to cold brew my tea overnight. Before I pour a glass, I'll put 1-2 tsp. of honey in and warm it up slightly in the microwave so that it becomes thinner. Then, I slowly pour the iced tea in and stir so that the honey and tea combine. It always comes out perfectly!
12:33 the toy was "weeble wobbles", their catch phrase was "weebles wobble, but they don't fall down." Glad to see you all back! 2022 is off to a bad start for me, so it's nice to have little enjoyable moments. Also, thank you for the alternate way to inquire about sending boxes.
@@chrisharris7931 Simple syrup is just predissolved sugar. Half and half sugar and water simmered until reduced. If you ARE going to brew it cold or at room temp, that's the way to go.
Glad to have y’all back. Alex’s chair is a wobble chair. They are frequently used in classrooms for fidgety kids. 😁 Being from Georgia, we brew the tea and then add various measurements of granular sugar in the tea. My family, growing would put anywhere from 1 cup to 1 1/2 cup of sugar to a full gallon of unsweetened tea while it’s still warm. We then chill in the refrigerator and then when you are ready to drink, fill a glass with ice and pour it up! Enjoy!
I was walking around Walgreens wondering and came across a whatchamacallit and a Whozeewhatsit. I picked up one of each and we tried them yesterday and today. I hadn’t had a whatchamacallit for years. It was okay. I thought they both tasted a little cheaper than I remembered. We are getting use to better chocolate, so the standard American chocolate isn’t really something I like anymore. We do like to follow along and try stuff you all are sent, but we didn’t even notice. Thanks!
Native Texan here. As a child our iced tea was sweetened with (white) granulated pure cane sugar. That being said, I have enjoyed (light) brown sugar sweetened tea with lemon. It's great on a 100 F+ summer day here abouts. Most food joints fast/fast casual/sit down use corn syrup as a sweetner. When they actually use sugar, it is usually noted as a PR come-on..."Our tea sweetened with real sugar!" Glad you are back with new content. Happy Lunar New Year as well...Cheers K&A!
Welcome back ! We missed you . Alex, congrats on your new stool and Kate , your hair looks great. On the issue of the tea , growing up in Pennsylvania we always sweetened the hot tea with sugar , to taste, and then when it was cool we just poured it over ice. The amount depends on the person , we just had to deal with however sweet our mom made it lol . Now as an adult i like it sweet but not too sweet . Just play around with it , see what works best for you .
Hey Lainie!! We missed you too!! So nice being back again. Haha he loves his new stool! Thank you 🥰 Thank you for the help with the tea! Definitely going to have a bit of a play!! Love that - We just had to deal with however sweet our mom made it 😂
@@ThisWithThem I'm not a fan, but I'm from the deep south of the USA. Here, they definitely steep it hot and add sugar before it cools down to avoid the granular texture. If you wanted to get out of tea-making duty as a child, you didn't add enough sugar for your mom's liking. 😂
I'm so glad y'all are back! This year started off horribly, my mom got covid around Thanksgiving and was so so sick for months it's just the last few weeks that she has recovered at all. She's doing better now but still not back to 100% so its nice to have your vids to look forward to.
Hi Kate and Alex! Welcome back? Good to see you both. This is a great start to this year. I am looking forward to all the different treats you have to show us. Have a great week.
YES to Alex growing his hair long !! :):) Also, Circle K is a gas station / convenience store chain in the US and Wonder Woman has a golden lasso rope that forces people to tell the truth once it is wrapped around them.
Terribly missed you, Kate & Alex! I'd usually watch your videos during meal time (breakfast or lunch or dinner), because it makes me enjoy my meals better! So happy you were able to have a restful and amazing vacation. ;-) Much love and support from you guys from the Philippines! :-D Looking forward for more videos! Woohoo! Please stay safe and more power. :)
In the US, we have a company called Poo-Pourri that sells toilet sprays. They sell a few "before you go" sprays that you use before you go to the bathroom and I believe that they also have sprays you can use after you go as well.
My mom also always adds the sugar while it's hot after boiling! Then puts in fridge then adds ice and it's delicious! She also boils several tea bags in a pitcher so it's potent! 🥰
I didn't think Id ever see them again, those "From Concentrate" juices are belong in the 90s in my mind. So I know it makes no sense, but even though it says "From Concentrate" what it means is it is concentrated and you need to dilute it with water. Thats why theyre so thick and syrupy.
We make sweet tea by stirring in granulated sugar while the tea is hot and stir to dissolve. I buy the Duke Cannon bars for my Dad and they suds great, smell so good and bar lasts for ever.
Welcome back! 😊 Yes, y'all have to come visit San Antonio. I love that someone from my city sent you so much stuff to try. Apparently, there are a few things I need to try too! We sweeten tea with sugar usually, while it's hot, so that it all dissolves.
Kate and Alex when you are making sweet tea you do it to how sweet you want it. I personally do not drink iced sweet tea. I only prefer my hot tea to be sweetened and then I use honey to sweeten my tea because it's already liquid so I don't get any gritty texture at the end from undissolved sugar.
Welcome back!! It seems like forever but I have been busy with the holidays and I moved. I love my new place. It's the nicest place I ever lived and the most expensive Yikes
Thank you!! It really does feel like a long time since we last posted a video! Oooo how exciting. Congratulations on the move!! Wishing you the best in your new place 🥰
In the southern states in America, regular white sugar is usually added to brewed tea while it is still hot so that the sugar dissolves. Then it is chilled and served with ice.
For Iced Tea we generally just use sugar and put it in before the tea cools down. When making Iced Tea (Sweet tea) you're still meant to steep it with hot water and then you'd immediately add a bunch of sugar if you're doing it at home. You can do Simple Syrup but its basically the same thing. Then just stick it in the Fridge and get it when its cool. The amount of sugar can vary a lot depending on who is making it, if in doubt, add a bit more.
Welcome back Kate and Alex! The sweet tea I've had has either pure cane sugar (Gold Peak, my absolute favorite!) or white granulated sugar. Cane sugar comes specifically from pure sugar cane whereas granulated sugar can come from either sugar cane or sugar beets. There really isn't much of a difference. Hope that helps. Nice to you see both again. Was wondering what happened to you. So glad to see you both healthy, happy, and refreshed! Happy New Year from the Rogue Valley area in beautiful Southern Oregon!! Keep the videos coming!
Thank you Debbie! Ahhh i see! Yes that does help a lot. Thank you 🥰 That is so lovely of you to think of us! Thank you. Hope you are doing well too! Happy New Year!
I don't like sweet tea, but my ex-husband loved it. He was born in Oklahoma and raised in Texas. My mom brews me a pitcher of iced tea every few days because it's so 🔥🥵 here in the summer. We use 6 bags decaffeinated black tea and 2 bags of Jasmine tea (the size for individual cups) in a microwaveable teapot and let it steep before pouring into the pitcher with at least 2 ice cubes trays worth of ice. The black tea gets a little bitter in large amounts and it took us about a year to figure out the right balance. It's perfect for me after working in a hot mailroom all day and going to the gym.🐈⬛🐾🐈⬛🐾 I came across your channel via Men Try Videos which live about an hour away from me!!!
YAAAAAY! Welcome back Kate and Alex! Thursday’s feel right in my world once again 🥰 such a great box to start back with! I’ve tried rap snacks, and they blew me away! I honestly wasn’t expecting them to be as good as they were, and now I grab them when I see them, which isn’t as often as I would like. Can’t wait to see what else Michele sent ya! I’ll be getting your box together to send out next week! Poor grizzly got hurt and we’ve been nursing him back to better. Finally back to walks this week, but been taking it slow. He jumped out of the car to go on our walk, and a rock jammed in between his toes, and ended up abscessing internally and burst his paw open, and he couldn’t put any weight on it for 11 days. Wore the cone of doom since he wanted to always lick it. Poor baby! But he’s got new shoes now, so this hopefully won’t happen again, since the vet said it’s quite common. Never heard of it before, but now I know 🤷🏻♀️🤣 sending you guys all our love! Here’s to an amazing new year to come all our ways! Hugs and love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Yay Hey Somer 😀 So nice to be back!! Hehe it's nice to hear you're pleased we are back! Yeah!! They're such a surprise aren't they!! We really were expecting them to be style over substance! That's so cool you can get them though. You are too kind Somer!! You really don't need to send us more!!! 💛Oh my word ouch!!! Poor Grizzly!! That must have been so hard for him to not walk on it properly for 11 days! I'm pleased to hear he is slowly getting back to his walks. Those shoes sound amazing 😂😂 how was he walking in them? Sending you all lots of love, health and happiness for 2022!! ♥️💕♥️💕♥️💕♥️💕♥️💕
Yaay!! Hey Michelle, thank you so much for your incredible boxes!! We have absolutely loved what we have tried so far and we can't wait to try the rest!! We would love to send you a box back as a thank you. Your daughter has just send us her address on Instagram so we will get a box sorted and sent back to you 🥰
When I brewed iced tea I'd boil a gallon of water, add the sugar while the water was boiling so it would dissolve. Now I use the unsweetened keurig pods and add liquid stevia.
Ahh it’s so good to have you guys back! 👏🏼👏🏼 😄 Ok, so I grew up making southern sweet iced tea. We use straight up granulated sugar. When I make it for the 4 of us I boil 4 tea bags with 4 cups water. Let steep for 5 minutes. Pour the hot tea over 1 cup of sugar so that it dissolves the sugar. Pour 4 more cups of COLD water over that and you’re done. Pour over a glass of ice and you have sweet iced tea. Sounds like a lot of sugar, but this is how we do it. 😄
Hey Stacie!! Hope you and your family are doing well! Happy New Year to you all! So nice to be back 🥰 Right, I am 100% making it exactly this way next time! Even though it may sound like a lot of sugar I think that is the amount that I'm needing as nothing I've made over here has tasted the same as when I've had it in the US so it must be the lack of sugar! Thank you for the recipe Stacie ♥️
We use sugar to sweeten our tea. Put it in before you add cool water or ice so that it dissolves and doesn't leave granules in the bottom. You just need to expirament until you find the sweetness you like. Everyone has different tastes.
Growing up in Texas when you boil your tea for sweet tea you use 6 tea bags in a medium pot and then add your sugar to the pot while the water is still hot enough to melt it. Then pour that into a 1 gallon container and fill the rest with water so that the tea is not to strong or sweet. Hope that made sense.
Yes, we just add our sugar first & then we pour our HOT tea water over the sugar & then stir it up until the sugar has dissolved then pour in the rest of our cold water. Just dissolve ur sugar then u don't need simple sugar or syrups. I also add one or 2 flavored tea bags like peach 🍑 or whatever u want. Let them steep for however strong u want ur tea. Then pour over ice & garnish with fruit. 🥤🍋🍊🍓🥝😋
@@kymomma9335 my mom does 2 cups but my bf does 3 cups we grew up with southern moms. I'm a southern Belle and he is a southern bo born and raised in Tennessee and that's all we know
So glad your back 😊. You both were definitely missed 💕. I didn’t get my notification , so I’m late lol 😂. Such fun to watch you both. Love your hairstyle kate and wow 😯 Alex your curls are awesome 😎
Thank you Lynda! It's nice to be back 🥰 Oh no, that's a shame you didn't get the notification but thank you for watching us still ♥️ So glad you enjoyed watching
Well HELLOOOOOO THERE GUYS!! Missed you so much I was hoping you didn't get Covid and that was why you hadn't been back! Sounds like a mother's mind , when they worry about their children,right?? You both look refreshed and ready to rumble!!! Great video! I like my tea both hot and cold,In the winter I love it hot and the summer very cold. I think as the tea sits in the fridge it may taste stronger. Glad you are back!! Hugs from Lancaster,Pa. 😘💓😘💓
Hey 😀♥️ Ahh no we were just taking some time off. As our November/December gets so busy we like to just take a little longer to get back into work for the year. Thank you for thinking of us though! 🥰 We really did feel much fresher and ready to go 😀So nice to be back and seeing you in the comments! Hope you're well 🥰♥️💕
Hey hey, welcome back! Good seeing ya! (Looks around) I don't see a "form down below" as mentioned in the intro and again at the end. Am I missing something?
You can make your own simple syrup with equal parts white sugar and water. You just dissolve the sugar in the water. But sweet tea is made with white sugar so it doesn't dilute the tea by adding simple syrup.
I worked at Cracker Barrel for 11 years and we add 5 cups of sugar to the tea 🤣. This is how I make my southern sweet tea. Boil 3 family size bags of Luizianne iced tea in 2 cups of water on the stove. Remove from heat when it comes to a full boil.

Fill up the pitcher with water, stir well to dissolve sugar and allow to cool in the fridge.
This is exactly how we make ours too.
Yum, type 2 diabetes!

This is how you're supposed to do it. Definitely needs real sugar.

I was just about to say the same thing. And it’s also best really cold. Don’t be afraid of a lot of ice 🧊
Sugar is totally unnecessary to enjoy iced tea. Sweet tea is an abomination. Fresh lemon is all that is needed.

Ahh it’s so good to have you guys back! 👏🏼👏🏼 😄 Ok, so I grew up making southern sweet iced tea. We use straight up granulated sugar. When I make it for the 4 of us I boil 4 tea bags with 4 cups water. Let steep for 5 minutes. Pour the hot tea over 1 cup of sugar so that it dissolves the sugar. Pour 4 more cups of COLD water over that and you’re done. Pour over a glass of ice and you have sweet iced tea. Sounds like a lot of sugar, but this is how we do it. 😄
Hey Stacie!! Hope you and your family are doing well! Happy New Year to you all! So nice to be back 🥰 Right, I am 100% making it exactly this way next time! Even though it may sound like a lot of sugar I think that is the amount that I'm needing as nothing I've made over here has tasted the same as when I've had it in the US so it must be the lack of sugar! Thank you for the recipe Stacie ♥️
@@ThisWithThem Yay! Hope you enjoy! ☺️
Woohoo, so glad to see you are back 🤩
Very nice of person send u more than 2 boxes of treats
I know!! So lovely. We are very grateful
Yeah your back!
Yaay 😀
Welcome back!
Thank you 😀
We use sugar to sweeten our tea. Put it in before you add cool water or ice so that it dissolves and doesn't leave granules in the bottom. You just need to expirament until you find the sweetness you like. Everyone has different tastes.
Growing up in Texas when you boil your tea for sweet tea you use 6 tea bags in a medium pot and then add your sugar to the pot while the water is still hot enough to melt it. Then pour that into a 1 gallon container and fill the rest with water so that the tea is not to strong or sweet. Hope that made sense.
Hello Kate & Alex!! Welcome Back and Happy New Year!! Where are the doggies?? 🙂😊🤩
Hey Irene!! Happy new year to you too!! I know we need to get them back in the videos 🥰🥰🥰
@@ThisWithThem Yes! Bob correct? He is the White 🐕
Happy new year from Australia hope you had a great Christmas 🦘
Thank you Sheryl! Hope you had a great Christmas and new year too!
Yes, we just add our sugar first & then we pour our HOT tea water over the sugar & then stir it up until the sugar has dissolved then pour in the rest of our cold water. Just dissolve ur sugar then u don't need simple sugar or syrups. I also add one or 2 flavored tea bags like peach 🍑 or whatever u want. Let them steep for however strong u want ur tea. Then pour over ice & garnish with fruit. 🥤🍋🍊🍓🥝😋
Southern sweat tea usually uses white sugar. 3 cups per gallon added when the tea is still hot so it disolves fully.
Yess sweet tea is the best
Amazing!! Must try with more sugar and add it in when hot!! Thank you
3 cups of sugar for a gallon? That's type 2 diabetes just waiting. 1 to 1.5 cups of sugar per gallon is how it's supposed to be smh
@@kymomma9335 my mom does 2 cups but my bf does 3 cups we grew up with southern moms. I'm a southern Belle and he is a southern bo born and raised in Tennessee and that's all we know
ahhhhhhhh!!! so excited that you guys are back 👌🏼😍
Anyone else want to listen to an audio book with Kate as the narrator?
So glad your back 😊. You both were definitely missed 💕. I didn’t get my notification , so I’m late lol 😂. Such fun to watch you both. Love your hairstyle kate and wow 😯 Alex your curls are awesome 😎
Thank you Lynda! It's nice to be back 🥰 Oh no, that's a shame you didn't get the notification but thank you for watching us still ♥️ So glad you enjoyed watching
Well HELLOOOOOO THERE GUYS!! Missed you so much I was hoping you didn't get Covid and that was why you hadn't been back! Sounds like a mother's mind , when they worry about their children,right?? You both look refreshed and ready to rumble!!! Great video! I like my tea both hot and cold,In the winter I love it hot and the summer very cold. I think as the tea sits in the fridge it may taste stronger. Glad you are back!! Hugs from Lancaster,Pa. 😘💓😘💓

Welcome back 😊😊
Thank you Ayla 🥰
You can make your own simple syrup with equal parts white sugar and water. You just dissolve the sugar in the water. But sweet tea is made with white sugar so it doesn't dilute the tea by adding simple syrup.
Thank you!! Will add white sugar into the hot tea next time 😀
Kate and Alex your videos are so awesome keep up the amazing work your RUclips channel is awesome I've been watching your channel for years 😀
