My husband loves sweet tea. The only problem is I tend to mess it up every time that I try to make it. Somewhere between the brewing and the steeping and the sugar addition I have a cooking meltdown. He’s always said that sweet tea is the one thing that I can’t make. And he’s been right…until now. I’ve finally found a sweet tea that even I can’t complicate– Southern Breeze Sweet Tea.
So what makes this sweet tea so simple? The sweetener is INSIDE the tea bag! This eliminates a step for cooks like me that can’t figure out the “right” amount of sugar to add to my tea. Inside each tea bag is a combination of Splenda and real tea leaves that can satisfy any southerner’s craving for sweet tea- even my husband’s!
Even though brewing tea may be easy, Southern Breeze makes it mindless by providing step-by-step brewing instructions on the back of the box. I boiled two quarts of water, transferred the water to a large jug, and then placed two tea bags in the water to steep. After about five minutes, I removed the tea bags (psst….squeeze the bags into the water after removing them. That’s a tip that I learned from my grandmother. But, be careful, the bags will be hot!).
After a few hours in the refrigerator, the tea was ready to be placed over ice and enjoyed! And, if you’re an avid sweet tea drinker, then you’ll notice that I was able to skip the “adding sugar” step.
The hubby is ecstatic to finally have consistent, familiar sweet tea around the house. Southern Breeze Sweet Tea can be purchased at Harris Teeter, Ingles, Amazon.com, and Wegman’s. I’ll be heading out later this week to Harris Teeter or Ingles to buy another box.

My husband is from the south, so we love sweet tea!! I tend to mess it up quite often, too, so this Southern Breeze would be awesome!!! A big glass of sweet tea reminds me of a hot summer day, relaxing and doing absolutely nothing! 🙂
I love going down south for some sweet tea. We have iced tea here in the north and it’s just not the same!
I grew up in Texas and absolutely love sweet tea!! My favorite thing about Southern Breeze Sweet Tea is the fact that the sweetener is in the bag! That would make it SO much easier on me! Sometimes it’s hard for me to gauge how much sugar to put it when I make it!
I love the idea that this tea sweetens while it steeps. Sweet tea is great to drink in summer on hot days.

I’m from the North but love my sweet tea!!! I’m always making a simple syrup to add to my sun tea but never tastes the same twice! Would love to try something different!
It’s strange – I don’t like sweet tea at all, but I love looking at pictures of sweet tea and mason jars!
I used to drink sweet tea by the gallon but I gave it up 5 years ago. My husband loves it though!
Sweet Tea is all i drink. I have a tea brewer & make gallons every week. WOuld love to try this. Thanks for the OP!!!!

I love how refreshing sweet tea is on a hot day!
And by the way, I find it funny that your husband says you can’t make sweet tea- sometimes it’s the most random things that we just can’t get!
Being from Texas, sweet tea is a staple around here, lol. I love it. I love the coldness and the smooth sweet taste. Yum! Email: stephanickety at yahoo.com
I love sweet tea. It’s the perfect balance between tea and sweetness. And it’s perfect with ice on a hot summer day. But I haven’t tried Southern Breeze before and would love to try it =)
I don’t drink Sweet Tea much, but if it’s a picnic or special occasion, sign me up! Looks so refreshing!
I drink ice tea all day all the time.. Never heard of this, but i would try it..
I think I’m the only one in Texas that does not like sweet tea! I love unsweetened iced tea though!
I am home brewed tea challenged too! What a great concept with the sweetener right in there for you! Thanks! I will surely be on the lookout for this!
How ingenious, just the right amount of sweetness. I love summer teas!
Sweet tea reminds me of home, growing up in Texas.
That maso jar is adorable. The sweeter the tea, the better in my book 😉
I love sweet tea!! It is the perfect drink any time!! 🙂

I grew up on Sweet Tea. It would be great to have a lower calorie version.
Living in SC, sweet tea is a staple in my house. I would love to try this new sweetener in the bag version
I love sweet on a hot day seems to be better than a coke it cools me off I like to take my tea and slice a orange and put in it so good
Yum- this looks delicious! I only recently starting enjoying iced tea and have been loving it! Truth: not so good unsweetened though 😉
That’s neat that the sweetener is already there. What a cool idea. I must try these.
Beautiful pictures! Interesting that the sweetener is included.
I am in for trying this. I am bit of an ice tea snob. I can honestly say if the tea is usually for hot tea it will not work for iced tea.
I haven’t had sweet tea in a very long time, I need to make some asap!
Oh boy, I have a DIL who would love this post. She drinks sweet tea like it’s going to go out of style. 🙂
The southern girl in my loves sweet tea. I have started mixing half unsweetened and half sweetened though 🙂
I love cold Iced Tea… and the best part is, its already sweetened!!
Nothing better than a nice cold glass of sweet tea. Looks good!
We love iced tea! Can’t get enough of it. I’m entering the giveaway and making some!
I love sweet tea. I make it all the time, but my kids turn around drink it all.
What a cute little gift set. 🙂 Summer is made for tea 🙂
I spy burlap… I love! Thanks for the sweet tea rec!
There is just something so refreshing, rewarding and relaxing about sitting down and enjoying a glass of sweet tea.
Sweet tea and summer go hand-in-hand!
I’m from down south, so Sweet tea is awesome. Their isn’t many things I don’t like about it. 🙂
Sounds dumb, but I love the sweetness of it. Plus the fact that drinking it means I’m down south!
Wow..I’ve never seen sweet tea that you sweetens itself. That is really awesome.
I would love to try this! Love some sweet tea on a hot summer day!
I Love sweet tea! We always have a pitcher in the fridge. I’d love to try this!
I just moved from the south and I miss my tea. I cannot wait to try this.
I just love sweet tea! It makes me happy!
i live in the south and ice cold sweet tea is about the only thirst quencher guaranteed to work in the summer
I love the cool refreshing taste of Sweet Tea! It is so much better and thirst quenching than sodas!

Love ice cold sweet tea with a little lemon.
I love drinking it during the hot summer and when we have BBQs!
I love the taste!
I love drinking sweet tea on a hot summer day. It is a staple down here in Texas!
Reminds me of warm weather.
