Sweet tea is awesome.

half and half

tried a sample of that a few weeks ago. it was totally nasty. almost like some northern person tried to come up with something kind of like sweet tea but failed horribly





now real southern sweet tea is one cup of sugar in a gallon of tea. hadn't had any sweet tea in over two months and i still miss it.



 

you a diabetic and cuttin back on sugar or something? that seems like a small amount to me

Either straight or lightly sweetened with saccharine. Sugar sweetened tea is terrible for your teeth.

Unsweetened tea is good hot but cold it is nasty.

I like both but prefer a bit of sweetness

There is a reason why artificial raspberry flavored food tastes like ass.

Castoreum:

Castoreum comes out of a beaver’s behind – it’s extracted from their anal glands — and is used to make artificial raspberry flavoring. Try not to think about that next time you order the diet raspberry tea.

Found in: Artificially raspberry flavored products such as cheap ice cream, Jell-O, candy, fruit flavored drinks, teas and yogurts.

I don't see how people can drink sweet tea.  Shit is nasty, might as well drink coke.

My SO says this all the time....and he's from the south!!!

amen.


Don't like sweet tea??    Fucking commie

Unsweet, a gallon a day.

Sweet or you're communist. I see there are a lot of bitter tea drinking dirty commies in this thread.

Here in the south sweet tea is the only tea.  Its actually more like kool aid but we like it!

This.

I don't squat to pee.

Don't f'n candy-ass my tea up!

Sun tea.  what kinda man adds sugar to his tea, coffee?

My lemon-aide has just a little sugar.

Sun tea.

NO SUGAR.  

I only drink hot tea.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

There is a direct link between sweet tea drinking and liberty loving gun people.

Look at any voting map of the US, and then look at the liberty of those states and cities. It's plain to see.

Now, look where the unsweetened black brine drinkers live, and even worse the drinkers of hot , unsweetened ditch water. There are more nut jobs , rainbow waving turd packers( no offense, it's a joke ), and groups of vile human wretchedness, and commies. The prevailing theory is that these sorts of people congregate to these cesspools because it is much easier for them to get hot or unsweetened tea. This joke of a drink actually retards their thinking.

The proof of that concept, is to look at the majority of people that leave those places, and head to a free, sweet tea state.

The ones that start drinking sweet , cold Iced Tea, also start to embrace other conservative values. They stop voting for commies, and they start partaking in shooting and gun ownership. They even start eating grits the right way, with salt and butter.

The ones that come to our free states, and stick to their ways, like continuing to primarily drink coffee, or hot and even cold unsweetened tea, also constantly remind everyone how good it was back "Up there" , and are bitter to the core. They still put sugar on grits if they eat them at all, and sometimes they even eat hot cereal. WTF people. That's smashed and soggy cardboard. They vote democrat, get on city councils, and home owner associations, and typically try to run every detail of everyone else's lives.

It's a known fact that I'm right, so don't even try to argue. There are exceptions to every rule of course. I mean, even some of the good transplants that drink sweet tea and shoot, and eat grits with sugar and salt. They'll slip up and say retarded stuff like " Hey you'ze guys."

It's ok, we still like them. Even the homosexuals and deviants are ok once they start drinking sweet tea. We got one that moved down here that floated like a butterfly. I mean flamboyant and open. He was really, really, proud.
A few months of drinking sweet tea, his nuts must have dropped. His voice got deeper, and he started driving pickup trucks, listening to country music and metal too. He got a job working on cars, and got a girlfriend. A real girlfriend. One that was born and raised here, with witnesses to the fact that she was indeed properly equipped and proficient in the use of said equipment.

They got married and started a family. Today, he's a conservative, gun owner, shooter, church going,  true to life heterosexual. And all because of sweet iced tea.

Some say it was his wife's stunning abilities to use her feminine love glove and bouncy bits, and that might be partly true, but those of us that know her well, also know that she makes the best super sweet iced tea in town.

I've walked out of quite of few restaurants that didn't serve sweet tea. Was stuck in a montana hellhole for 4 years and they thought that I was bullshitting about sweet tea. I always hate having to drive north to yankeeland, or west to hippieville because of the lack of sweet tea. Tea is supposed to be sweetened when it is made, then chilled over ice. Any other way is wrong and will send you to hell. Now you want to start another war, how about cornbread? Tea is sweet and cornbread isn't. Sweet cornbread is cake and that is for after dinner.

born and raised Texan.

Sweet tea sucks.

Amen, brother!

I do 3/4 cup per 1 gallon of tea. A co-worker of mine does 2 cups sugar per gallon, wow !

I like the taste of tea.  Not the taste of  granulated corn sugar

if you can taste the grains, you did it wrong.

Corn sugar?



Cane sugar out here.



 

I agree with you sparky,

he did it wrong as in he put something other than ice cubes in his tea.

That's funny, because I'm from Maryland.

usually just enough sugar to take the bitterness out of it, but sometimes I make it a bit sweeter

Straight from wiki:


Food use [edit]
In the United States, castoreum is considered to be a GRAS food additive by the Food and Drug Administration.[9] It is often referenced simply as a "natural flavoring" in products' lists of ingredients. While it is mainly used in both foods and beverages as part of an artificial vanilla flavor,[10] it is less commonly used as a part of a raspberry or strawberry flavoring.[11] The annual industry consumption is very low, around 300 pounds,[12] whereas vanillin is over 2.6 million pounds annually.[13]
Castoreum has been traditionally used in Scandinavia for flavoring snaps commonly referred to as "Bäverhojt".[14]

Dayum...  Kidney stone much???



 

Sooooo... Based on the first 3 comments, the fourth makes you 'metro'?



 

commie.  Do the other Texans know about you and your feelings about bastard tea?



 

How can any self-respecting Texan think that you add sugar to iced tea after it's been steeped?  

Iced tea is iced tea...    Yes, it has sugar in it as it should.  

In restaurants, you order "tea" or "unsweet tea" (or "un-tea" depending on location).  The sugar is put out there for those drastic times when someone watered down the tea or for Northerners who don't know any better.

Sun tea is something all together different, as it's usually sweetened with lemon/lime slices while steeping.

bunch a damn heathens in this thread.......Tea....iced....with sugar/end of thread

tri-fecta

My people didn't win the goddamn civil war so we could heap sugar into our fucking tea.

I'm sweet enough already.  

 

I'll go sweet tea, as well.

Your people ... ?

Racist.

Unsweet fan here, the tea has it own flavor that shant be masked by a mere sweetner...

Yes. Tea is sweet already. Adding sugar just fucks it up.

Nothing comes close to sun brewed tea, no other method of or preparation of tea that is.

Don't knock it until you've tried it, it is beautiful in it's simplicity and perfection.

Only if I add the sugar. everyone elses sweet is fucking disgusting
