Low-calorie sweet tea
Been making my own Sweet Tea. Traditional Southern style sweet tea, but without sugar.
Here’s my recipe . . .
mehallo’s low-cal sweet tea
ingredients
20 tea bags (I prefer Yorkshire)
4 oz. container Pure Via stevia extract
Dash baking soda
Lots of filtered water
to make
Toss all in a large stock pot, fill with water. Bring to a boil, taste for sweetness. Adjust as necessary.
Simmer gently for 12 hours or so. Sweetner should caramelize and tea will turn dark brown. Baking soda will help keep things from going cloudy.
Chill in fridge. Serve with ice.
Final tea could be served strong – or use it as a concentrate, add water and ice when serving. (I prefer it strong)
Variants: I’ve added honey, a few different types of tea (such as Pomegranate or something fancy) to swap out the flavors a bit. Can also be served with mint or stevia leaves. Mixes great with lemonade.
