 Add two tea bags to 4 cups boiling water then remove from heat and let them steep for 5 minutes.
You will need 1 cup cooled tea for this pie. Use the rest to make a tall glass of iced tea!
You will need 2 heaping cups of Dixie Crystals/Imperial Sugar for this recipe.
 You can never have too much sugar in sweet tea, right?!

 Sometimes I make my own crust but in a pinch I use these frozen dough pucks.
They are from a local Texas bakery and sold at our grocery stores here in Texas.


 Roll our thawed dough then press into a 9 inch pie plate.
Crimp edges with a fork.


 Add butter and sugar to a large mixing bowl and beat until fluffy.
Add yolks one at a time and mix on low.

 Now add fresh lemon zest and lemon juice.

And pour in 1 cup of cooled tea. Mix well.

Now add the dry ingredients starting with 2 1/2 tsp of cornmeal.
This keeps the pie from being too runny.

 Add flour and salt and stir until combined.

  Pour into pie crust and place on a baking sheet.

Bake for 45-55 min at 350 degrees.

You can chill until ready to serve or let sit for at least 10 minutes at room temp.

 Slice and top with whipped cream then serve.

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear
