How to Make Southern Sweet Tea

There’s nothing like a cold, refreshing glass of sweet tea on a hot summer day. The “sweet” in this southern sweet tea comes completely from zero-calorie Splenda® Stevia Sweetener packets. And it takes hardly any time to make! For an extra touch, garnish your tea with mint sprigs and lemon slices.
