Si Robertson on his iced tea habit and why his wife Christine is not part of Duck Dynasty

In a recent interview with Parade magazine, Duck Dynasty’s Si Robertson revealed why his wife isn’t part of the show and gave details about his famous iced tea habit.

Si Robertson revealed his famous blue cup, which he carries around with him everywhere he goes, was given to him by his mother while he was in Vietnam.

“My mama sent me that to me when I was in Vietnam – she put it in a boot and then put two jars of jalapeno peppers in each boot. I love my jalapeno peppers,” the Duck Dynasty star told Parade magazine.

He also said he drinks two gallons of tea a day and his wife Christine is worried about the quantity. But it is Christine who makes his everyday tea.

“We do it the old-fashioned way. Put three bags in a pot of water, turn the heat on the water and let it boil, put a saucer over it and let it seep. Then pour it into a gallon jug and then I drink it,” said Si Robertson.

Si Robertson also revealed he never drinks sweet tea.

Uncle Si said his wife Christine doesn’t want to be part of the show just because: “She’s got better sense than all the rest of us!”

Duck Dynasty Season 4 airs Wednesday, at 9/8c on A&E.
