Overview of Sweet Tea in Grow a Garden
Grow a Garden is a Roblox farming simulator released on March 26, 2025. In mid-2025, the game introduced a Cooking Update (the Kitchen Storm event) that lets players combine crops into dishes using a cooking pot. One new recipe from this update is Sweet Tea, a special drink (one of only two beverages in the game besides the Smoothie). Sweet Tea is requested by the in-game chef NPC Chris P. Bacon during the cooking event, and it comes in multiple quality tiers – Mythical, Divine, Prismatic, and Transcendent – each requiring a different ingredient combination.
Required Ingredients and Sweet Tea Recipes
To brew Sweet Tea in Grow a Garden, you must gather specific in-game fruits and combine them in the cooking pot. Each rarity tier of Sweet Tea has its own recipe (some tiers even have alternate recipes discovered by players). Below are the known ingredient recipes for Sweet Tea by quality:
Mythical/Divine Sweet Tea: 2 × Ember Lily + 1 × Burning Bud + 1 × Blueberry. (Both Mythical and Divine Sweet Tea currently share this recipe in-game.)
Prismatic Sweet Tea: 4 × Sugar Apple + 1 × Ember Lily is a confirmed recipe. Players have also reported alternate Prismatic recipes, such as 2 × Coconut + 1 × Sugar Apple + 1 × Ember Lily, or 1 × Elder Strawberry + 1 × Sugar Apple + 1 × Ember Lily + 1 × Sugarglaze. All these ingredient sets produce a Prismatic-quality Sweet Tea if done correctly.
Transcendent Sweet Tea: 2 × Candy Blossom + 3 × Bone Blossom is a reliable recipe for the highest-tier Sweet Tea. Several other Transcendent combinations exist – for example, 1 × Burning Bud + 4 × Sugar Apple is known to work. Even a five-ingredient mix (1 × Beanstalk + 1 × Ember Lily + 1 × Sugar Apple + 1 × Giant Pinecone + 1 × Elder Strawberry) can yield a Transcendent Sweet Tea. These variants allow flexibility if you’re missing one type of ingredient.
(Note: Candy Blossom, Bone Blossom, Ember Lily, etc., are special crops in the game. Ember Lily is a rare Prismatic-tier crop, and Candy/Bone Blossoms are often obtained through events or mutations.)
Crafting Steps and Cooking Mechanics
Gather the Ingredients: First, obtain the required fruits for your chosen Sweet Tea recipe. This involves growing the crops in your garden or trading with other players. For instance, Ember Lily seeds are quite rare, so players often trade for them via the community. Ensure you have the correct quantities of each item (e.g. 4 Sugar Apples and 1 Ember Lily for a Prismatic Sweet Tea).
Use the Cooking Pot: Head to the cooking station in-game and insert the ingredients into the Cooking Pot. Up to five ingredients can be added for a recipe (depending on the Sweet Tea variant). Important: some recipes require adding items in a specific order. For example, one confirmed Prismatic recipe only works when you put the 4 Sugar Apples first and the Ember Lily last, in that exact order. If the order is wrong or ingredients are incorrect, the recipe may fail.
Cook the Sweet Tea: After placing the items, click the Cook button to start cooking. The pot will begin brewing your Sweet Tea. Cooking takes a short time (around 5 minutes for a dish by default). While it cooks, a progress gauge or timer will indicate when the dish is ready.
Collect and Serve: Once the timer finishes, your Sweet Tea will appear as a completed item if the combination was successful. You can now collect the Sweet Tea from the pot. During the event, this item is typically given to Chris P. Bacon (the NPC) to fulfill his craving quest and earn rewards – though you could also keep it as a crafted item in your inventory.
Game-Specific Tips: Keep in mind that certain Sweet Tea recipes only work under specific conditions. Some ingredient combinations will only produce Sweet Tea when the NPC Chris P. is actively craving it as his request (during the event), and not at other times. Likewise, the game might treat one set of ingredients as multiple possible dishes; so adding them in the correct sequence or timing is crucial for getting Sweet Tea.
Always follow the recipe precisely as discovered, and don’t mix extra ingredients. If you experiment with new combinations, do so when the quest is active to see if you discover a new valid recipe. Happy cooking and enjoy your Sweet Tea in Grow a Garden!
