Gross...

I'm also from the South.

The recipe I grew up on (thanks to my Mom) is half as many tea bags and a quarter as much sugar and it's delicious.

Hell, you're using twice as much sugar as McDonald's does in their sweet tea.

That's excessive, amigo.

Also, be sure to use Lipton (which is orange pekoe but so are some other brands so specificity helps)... Anything else is subpar for sweet tea (iced Southern US style).
