    Born and raised Georgia girl here and my mother used Tetley tea but she brewed it in the coffee pot. I still use Tetley tea but I boil mine in a aluminum pot like my mom-n-law. It's my teapot and everyone knows nothing but my tea is made in it. Again like my mom-n-law 🙂

    Tammy, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your videos. You are such a sweet and genuine person. Have watched all of your videos. I've got to buy your cookbooks. How much water did you boil with the tea bag? NC Southern lady…Thanks!

    When Bruce makes his tea ( Un sweetened) or I make his tea. First,
    I put cold water in the jug. Then use a plastic measuring cup just for tea to boil some water in microwave. Then steep Lipton regular tea bags and green tea in together. Steep tea at same time for 5 minutes and then pour into jug with cold water. Place in fridge to chill.

    I found a recipe for crock pot hot chocolate that uses a can of the sweet condensed milk. I made it for Christmas and it was horrible! Everyone online just bragged about it but it was so sickly sweet that I couldn't hardly drink it. I will try this recipe. It sounds really good.

    Hi Tammy! I have just recently found you and am looking forward to catching up by binge watching all your videos. I really enjoy all your valuable cooking tips. Keep those up. I made your french fried onions last night and ate an entire onion all my myself!

    I love my electric kettle–I found it at Sam's after Christmas one year on clearance. I only boil water in it–I don't put the tea bags in it because I don't boil my tea and I don't want to have to wash it every time. I pour the water over my gallon size tea bag in a glass batter bowl (I can put that in the dishwasher). Mine automatically cuts off once it starts boiling which is nice because sometimes I forget about it. I let a pot of water boil dry once on a glass top stove–it ruined the pan (the lid handle actually melted) and messed up the seal on my range top. I'm surprised you boil the tea–I've read you should only use 180 to 190 F water to brew tea. Also I use filtered water because our tap water tastes bad.

    My mom had all that you are showing for back in the day kitchen utensil. I had to share some things with my sis to have our mom in our kitchen it's like having her in the morning & day . Her gravy serving dishes . Yes the potatoe masher I still see her mashing them as I sat at the table watching her & learning . This is kinda how I feel watching your videos 🙂. Like my momma's home.

    Tammy, I love all your Easter decorations and your Valentine's gifts. They're so pretty on display. I never decorate for the holidays with the exception of Christmas..
    The hot chocolate looks fabulous! I make my tea on the stove in a boiler pretty much the same way you do in a kettle. It is always better the second day.. prayers for all who are in the ice and snow storms. My heart goes out to all of them. Love you back sweet lady!❤🙏

    Prayers for all the people that are in the storm areas. I live in NC and so far we have dodged the bullet in the area I live in. I love sweet tea, as in Steel Magnolias, the wine of the South. I love fresh lemon and just a splash of pineapple juice. I love crushed ice in my glass of sweet tea.

    momma ALWAYS would make "sweet tea SYRUP" and she'd pour it into a clean empty
    mayo jar w/a butter knife in jar .. and the knife would keep it from breaking jar …
    she'd keep the jar on kitchen counter and as needed would pour a little syrup into
    an ice filled glass … about an inch of syrup …over the ice and fill rest way up w/cold water
    yummy ! ….
