Guest guest Posted July 11, 2000 Report Share Posted July 11, 2000 * Exported from MasterCook * Texas Iced Tea, very old receipt Recipe By : Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 2 heaping tablespoons Lipton loose-leaf tea a pinch baking soda a saucepan reserved for tea making Fill pan halfway with water and get it to boiling. Drop in a pinch of baking soda and the tea. Turn off the heat and leave pan on hot burner for one half minute. Make sure the tea doesn't boil over. If you leave it on the burner longer it will become bitter! Add some tap water to the tea pan. This makes the leaves sink to the bottom. Steep 1 minute and no more. Strain into a non-plastic pitcher and weaken with more water. Pour into a glass that is overfilled with ice. Add sugar and key lime if desired. (Author's note: eat with greasy food).

Her grandmother's recipe to counteract bad tasting tap water (bottled water and water filters are commonplace in Dallas nowadays out of necessity). The first time I tried to make this tea, I made the mistake of overbrewing, thinking that it wouldn't be strong enough. Wrong! I won't do that again! Nutr.
