Sweet Tea ✨

•Prep time: 10 minutes plus 2 hours chilling time
•Cook time: 20 minutes 
•Makes 1 gallon 

✨ Ingredients:
•16 cups water
•5 family-size tea bags, or 6 regular-size tea bags
•A pinch of baking soda
•1 cup sugar, or to taste
•Fresh lemon wedges, for serving
•Fresh mint, for serving

✨ Instructions:
1) Place 4 cups of the water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat. Tie together the strings of the tea bags and place them into the saucepan with the string tabs over the edge of the pot. Cover and steep for 15 minutes.
2) Remove the lid, use a spoon to gently press the tea bags to extract as much tea as possible, and discard the tea bags. Stir in the baking soda. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Transfer the tea to a large serving pitcher and stir in the remaining 12 cups water. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
3) Serve over ice with lemon wedges and mint.

Barbecue Ribs ✨

•Prep time: 15 minutes
•Cook time: 2 hours 5 minutes
•Makes 6 to 8 servings

✨ Ribs:
•3 to 4 pounds beef or pork ribs
•1 (1.5-ounce) container McCormick Pickling Spice (you should be able to find this in the spice or canning section of your local store)

✨Seasoning Blend::
•1 teaspoon garlic powder
•1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
•1 teaspoon onion powder
•1 teaspoon salt
•1 teaspoon pepper
•½ teaspoon sugar

✨Barbecue Sauce:
•1 cup store-bought barbecue sauce
•½ cup sweet chili sauce (we like Mae Ploy)
•¼ cup Worcestershire sauce

✨ Instructions:
1) To prepare the ribs, cut them into portions small enough to fit into a large pot.
2) Add 8 cups of water and pickling spice to a large pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove the pot from the heat, cover, and let steep for 10 minutes. Add the ribs; if needed, add more water until they are covered. 
3) Return the pot to medium-high
