Happy National Iced Tea Month!

If you go anywhere in the South, the one thing you'll see more of than Baptist churches is sweet tea. Sweet tea is one of the most important traditions in the South and is consumed daily during almost every meal. Until now, living a low carb lifestyle and craving sweet tea did not coexist but now Southerners can rejoice! The invention of Splenda and other alternative sweeteners have saved the day once again! And since it's National "Iced" Tea Month, I'm going to share with you some great low carb sweet tea secrets and the products that I love to drink!
Tips on Making Sweet Tea:
-Don't put the tea straight in the refrigerator after you make it. Let it cool to room temperature and then put it in the fridge. Trust me. It tastes WAY better and it's not as cloudy looking.
-Don't add ice to your tea while it's hot. Put ice in your cup and then pour the tea over it when you're ready to drink it .
-A little lemon never hurt anyone.
