Sweet Tea

[arminnie]

It's sickeningly sweet, though. I get half and half (usually snagging half of DH's sweet tea to mix with my unsweetened tea). But really, I just add the sugar to taste if it comes unsweetened. I've never understood why restaurants offer unsweetened and sweetened tea - when there are packets of sugar and sweetener on the tables.

I'm with you on getting the half and half. If I fill my own glass (some self serve) that's what I do, or I've even been known to order it half and half.

But before artificial sweeteners were available I usually only drank unsweetened tea as it is just way too hard to dissolve sugar in cold tea.

Sugar actually was not that expensive in Louisiana as they grow it and refine it there. Now there are all of these protection laws etc that make the price artificially higher.

Gosh, I hope not. Sweet tea should be banned from the country completely. That stuff could send one into a diabetic comma. I have often wondered about flavored, lemoned and sweetened tea. If one doesn't like the taste of tea, why get it. Kool Aid will give you as much sugar as anything else.

DW grew up in the south and I have often told her if tea was meant to be sweet it would grow that way! Thanks for backing me up on this!
