How to make homemade Sweet Tea 

3/4 cups water + 3 cups Water

3/4 cups sugar

5-6 teaspoons Southern Sweet Tea Blend

Pinch of Baking Soda

Bring 3/4 cups of water and 3/4 cups of sugar to a boil in a small pot on the stove, carefully string so it doesn't burn. Once boiling, boil for 5-7 minutes and let the syrup reduce. Remove from hit and set aside to let cool. This is the secret sauce for your sweet tea! Bring 3 cups of filtered water to a boil and steep 5-6 teaspoons of Farmhouse Teas Southern Sweet Tea & a pinch of baking soda (to tame the tannins in the tea) using whatever steeping method you prefer, for 5-6 minutes. After it's done steeping strain the leaves and add the simple syrup. Serve over ice with a slice of lemon. Enjoy!
