Never thought watching a tea video would make me cry but this one did. When you guys were sitting on the porch together looking out over your beautiful place I started crying...... but when you reached for each other's hands, I completely lost it and couldn't hold back the fountain of tears that began flowing. Reminded me of my late husband and myself except we sat on the front porch swing. Wonderful memories for me. You guys are so special.

@SawyerRidgeFarm 4 года назад

Bonnie Durham aww... didn’t mean to make you cry. But I’m so glad that it touched your heart and you were able to remember some old memories of you and you late husband! Thank you so much for your support! ❤️😊

Dear Bonnie, I understand just how you feel. I am in the same situation having lost my wife 9 years and we were together for forty years. Things we did, places we went, etc. Nothing will ever be the same. I know the thing is to carry on but it's easier said than done. Hang in there!

👌👌👌 Born a California girl moved to TN/KY area and learned all about sweet tea. In California we do sun tea.....sit and let the bags steep all day in hot sun ☀️. Lipton’s was called poor mans tea but so good. Love Red Rose and any southern tea I can find now. Sweet tea and Diet Pepsi was my guilty pleasure every day. Then at 32 my heart went wacko and beat too fast. After a lot of tests and a week in hospital and a couple of shocks to get heart to beat right doctor said if I wanted a long life I had to STOP that black sugary tea and Pepsi. Always been thin and active but that scared me senseless. Once a week I may make it and have one glass with lemon slice and lots of ice. Never had another problem. But that tea and homemade lemonade after working and sitting on porch sets real well today. You see I wanted to make sure I was holding my mans hand just like the two of you and looking at all we’ve done all these years. And sipping one glass of that sweet sweet tea. Going on 49 years together and still loving the view and rocking with a nice breeze blowing. And the heart never better. It jus swells at the touch of his hand and fills up with a lot of love. Ya did good with this video. You’re a great team 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I was born in rural, farmland Philippines, moved to California in 07 and then moved to Idaho in 2011, I’ve been stuck in the busy and restricted life of a city man for so long that I never was able to see the beauty of the countryside and I was never truly able to see what America had to offer until a year ago. I was shocked to find it so similar back home, it is everything I’ve been missing in my life, some peace, simplicity and being a free man. If this is what it means to be an American, well I’m proud to be one, I am day by day catching up to the American dream, and sweet tea is one of em for me. Thank you!

I grew up with Lipton, too. We’d bring a quart to boil and pour over the bags in something else (using those tabs to hang over the sides so we could get the bags back out easier, but would just wring the bags with a fork or something. Might want to get the staples out of the bags before you try and compost them, though.

@heatherfulcher1794 4 года назад

Thank you for the awesome video. I do my tea a little different, but I enjoyed the video none the less. The ending had me smiling from ear to ear so hard I nearly cried. That's awesome you have that on video now to look back on later. My husband and I are exactly the same. We sit side by side and hold hands all the time. We've been married 11 years on July 11th, and it still hasn't changed a bit. Enjoy every second together!

@juliechurch8615 4 года назад

You have sweet tea making down to a science, I bet it is good! I just ordered the tea bag squeezer you use, thanks for showing it. I use Stevia Raw in my sweet tea because I am diabetic and I drink about half a gallon a day. I switched over to Cold brew decaf last summer. I fill a half gallon mason jar with water, stick two bags in it over night and when I take the bags out the next day I add the Stevia and I am good to go!

A glass of weak tea hurts my feelings 🙁 lol. I was spoiled growing up..my mom kept a gallon of sweet tea in the 'fridge year round. She would use a pan on the stove, too, and throw a bunch of bags in at boiling point, turn off the fire, cover and let steep 30-45 mins (if we could wait that long) and mix the sugar while it was still hot/warm. Then she did add some tap water. She used Lipton. Funny how we get serious about our brand of ice tea😁 Love to see ya'll share the tea makin, too. Yep, you make a great team👍🏼❤️God Bless

@julieb9215 4 года назад

Y’all weren’t joking when you said you like SWEET tea! 🤣 I’m a Lipton girl. Grew up using 7 bags (I think) per gallon until we changed over to the family sized bags. Used 2 family size but now I add a couple extra regular sized bags. One of those family sized bags is decaf thou. And I use less sugar than y’all. I have always had a scoop that stays in my sugar canister. Thought I used to use about 1 1/2 cups sugar but then measured & each scoop is only half a cup & I used 2 scoops. In the last year I’ve cut that back to only a single scoop per gallon. It’s easy to cut back the sugar amount if you just reduce it a little at a time.

@jnashone 4 года назад

Your tea looks Awesome! I personally prefer Red Diamond. I use the family size bags with a cup and a half of sugar, but I have to put a pinch of baking soda in mine while it is brewing because if I don't, the tea will tear me UP from acid reflux. :) oh and by the way, I have that exact same tea jug!

Very nice video. According to my taste buds, Luzianne makes the best sweet tea of all the national brands. I generally like my tea very sweet, like Kool-Aid. I never really know how many tea bags, how much water, how long to let the bags steep, and how much sugar to add. Your video gave me alot of good ideas. Thanks!!
