I am looking for a sweet tea recipe that is not deadly sweet. After look a Googling tea recipes, I am totally confused. One calls for 2 cups of sugar with 8 tea bags, then brew for 15 - 20 min. another leaves bags in for 4 - 5 hours, then adding sugar, it goes on and on. What is with an 1/8 to 1/4 baking soda being added to the mix? I understand that everyone's tastes are different and some like their tea sweeter then others, but I am looking for a basic recipe to start from. I have tasted some pretty awful " sweet teas" they were either too sweet, harsh, chemical tasting or a combination of all three. Thanks
