It might just be the only thing you know about the South. Well, maybe you&rsquo;ve heard we make great fried chicken, biscuits&nbsp;and gravy, and maybe you&rsquo;re even smart enough to know what CFS stands for. But sweet tea is the real thing we&rsquo;re famous for. It&rsquo;s the house wine of the South. We go through gallons of it year &rsquo;round.<\/p>\n<p>I grew up with lemon slices in sweet tea, but since&nbsp;Mr. Dessert For Two grew up in Georgia, peach sweet tea is more familiar to him. Since we try to make this Texas\/Georgia hybrid relationship work in California, I&rsquo;m giving you the option for a lemon cream topping or a peach cream topping. Such a delicious compromise.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3717\" title=\"SweetTeaGranitaFinal2forsite\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/SweetTeaGranitaFinal2forsite.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"675\" height=\"528\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/SweetTeaGranitaFinal2forsite.jpg 675w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/SweetTeaGranitaFinal2forsite-400x313.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/SweetTeaGranitaFinal2forsite-300x235.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/SweetTeaGranitaFinal2forsite-550x430.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/SweetTeaGranitaFinal2forsite-600x469.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/p>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"Recipe\",\"name\":\"Southern Sweet Tea Granita\",\"author\":{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"www.DessertForTwo.com\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-02-27\",\"recipeYield\":3,\"description\":\"These sweet tea granitas are the perfect Southern treat.\",\"image\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/www.dessertfortwo.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2019\\\/02\\\/SweetTeaGranitaFinalforsite-480x480.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.dessertfortwo.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2019\\\/02\\\/SweetTeaGranitaFinalforsite-480x360.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.dessertfortwo.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2019\\\/02\\\/SweetTeaGranitaFinalforsite.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.dessertfortwo.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2019\\\/02\\\/SweetTeaGranitaFinalforsite-480x270.jpg\"],\"recipeCategory\":\"Frozen Treats\",\"recipeCuisine\":\"American\",\"prepTime\":\"PT30M\",\"cookTime\":\"PT0S\",\"performTime\":\"PT1H\",\"totalTime\":\"PT1H30M\",\"recipeIngredient\":[\"2 cups water\",\"1\\\/3 cup sugar + 1\\\/2 teaspoon\",\"2 black tea bags\",\"1\\\/4 cup heavy cream\",\"Pinch of lemon zest -or- 1 teaspoon peach syrup*\"],\"recipeInstructions\":[{\"@type\":\"HowToStep\",\"text\":\"In a small saucepan or microwave, heat 1 cup of the water to a brisk simmer.
