Sweet Iced Tea
The Southern porch classic: family-sized tea bags steeped strong, sweetened while hot so the sugar dissolves cleanly, then diluted with cold water and chilled. The pinch of baking soda is the trick that mellows tannins and keeps the tea from turning cloudy or bitter — a detail real Southerners will tell you about with surprising conviction.
