I tried “Sweet Tea” when my daughter married into a Southern family. If I wanted to drink pancake syrup, I’d buy that instead. I drink tea on occasion, both green and black, and it’s plain, whether hot or over ice. So is my coffee, plain and black. You do you, I’ll do me, and we can laugh about our differences.
You are such an Oregonian…. Expose your self to Southern Culture and it’s delicacies… At one time I use to go fishing and cut the line if I caught a catfish, now I go catfishing…
I’m a Southerner and even I cut my sweet tea half-n-half with unsweet tea.
I’d rather put out a lit cigarette in my belly button than drink sweet tea. But if you like it….awesome..Not for me though
For many years I liked my tea extremely sweet. When I was diagnosed with diabetes, I switched to unsweetened tea. After 35 years of the straight tea, I can’t stand sweet tea at all. Earlier this evening, I ordered an unsweetened tea with supper. They screwed up and gave me sweet tea. Thankfully I checked it before I left the drive-thru window and had them replace it.
I like lots of sweet things, but tea is not one of them. Not to be confused with sweet thangs, for those of you from the south. My wife would kill me. Coming up on 32 years of marriage this spring.
Sweet tea, made correctly, is extremely delicious. Not too much sugar, just enough. The crap served at mcdonalds is not sweet tea. At the present time I drink unsweetened tea, due to the diabetes thing. But when I go home to Texas, at meal times I will choose sweetened tea over unsweetened. As I said when made correctly it is very good. And my sister and sister in law both make it very well. I don’t go often enough for it to kick up my diabetes.
My southern bride had family up in Maine and New Hampshire. We are up there for a visit and she had to ask the waitress, “Where you people come from you don’t have sweet tea?”
Serving UNsweetened Tea to a southerner is a great way to restore that “little” fight that has been suspended since 1865.
I’m only gonna give my “opinion”, since I don’t drink Tea nor Coffee:
Yuck
Sweet tea. Yes please!
Sothern girl waitresses who ask if you want sweet tea? Yes please
Jeffersonian
For the diabetics out there, like me, try to obtain some Nerada tea, it naturally tastes sweet. It’s grown high up on the Atherton Tablelands in north Queensland. I don’t know if it is sold in the US, but in the age of internet shopping you may be able to get some. No chemicals or sucrose needed, for me anyway.
