As we steep ourselves in the rich traditions of the South, our latest episode unfurls the storied past and vibrant present of sweet tea. Let us take you back to the sun-soaked '70s in California, where sun tea was all the rage, and forward through time to the Southern porches where sweet tea is more than a drink—it's a way of life. We'll unwrap how something as simple as the availability of ice and refrigeration changed the game for this amber nectar, transforming it into a regional symbol of hospitality and comfort.
With the tinkling of ice cubes in glasses as our backdrop, we're spilling family secrets on brewing that perfect pitcher. From the art of simple syrup to the precise tea-to-water ratio, we cover it all, ensuring your next sweet tea is as clear and inviting as a Southern sky. But we don't stop there; we also wander through the aromatic lanes of Earl Grey and the gentle slopes of green tea, discussing their unique characteristics and benefits. So pull up a chair and join us for a chat that's as warm and inviting as the drink we're honoring—you just might find yourself inspired to share your own tea traditions with us.
