I have thought of my Grandma's (don't be caught dead calling her that) sweet tea many times lately. It was the best tea in the world. But, either she had a "magic" tea pot or my memory is failing me. The only thing I remember is that she had a medium size "brown betty" tea pot that somehow served the entire family no matter how many people were there to eat that meal. It was usually my job to pour the tea and I certainly don't remember watering down the tea at all. I have a similar pot that I bought at an antique store recently and it wouldn't fill my husband's glass more than once. The women in my family always could stretch a dollar to feed as many people as necessary, I guess that goes for tea, too.

Similar to my inlaws - who said that despite the "Great Depression" they never knew they were "poor". They weren't poor in love, they weren't poor in good homegrown food, and they were NEVER poor in missing out on good sweet tea!
