Tea....sweet or not to sweet.

[mjlabs]

So its that time of year, grills and smokers are firing up in every square mile of this great country and most of use start making tea for those hot summer days (aside from our favorite adult beverages)

How do you like your tea? Sweet or no?

I like mine brisk, don't bother offering me sugar, it ruins the taste of tea.

Sweet.. as if you had to ask!

Most Southern people drink it sweet.

I have a cup of orange peco with a teaspoon of honey every moning. but with meals I like straight plain ice tea.

Luzianne, made strong, with sugar and lemon=Southern Sweet Tea! Yum, yum!

Tea is not meant to be sweet
Lemon lots of Lemon.
NO SUGAR or any other sweeteners.

Lipton tea with Splenda and some Crystal Light in the pitcher over ice in the Summer. In the winter the same but with no ice.

I can do either but prefer sweet. BUT KEEP THE LEMON AWAY FROM MY TEA. If I want lemon I'll drink a lemonade.

Nothing gets it done on a hot summer day like a tall glass of sweet tea over ice.

I drink black tea and green tea with no sugar. I also drink them hot or cold. Works for me.

I'm a Tennesseean, but decided many years ago that unsweetened iced tea quenches my thirst better than sweetened. Same reason I don't drink sodas, but mostly stick with ice water.

Sometimes when it's very cold I'll drink a cup of very strong hot black tea with milk and sugar--never lemon--for a warming energy boost.

Sweet tea for sure. My late mother-in-law was from Arkansas and made the best sweet tea ever. Prior to her I drank it unsweetened.

What works for us, is Lipton Cold Brew made with hot water; steeped to taste. I put mine over crushed ice, a lemon wedge, and Splenda.

We drink iced tea every day. Period. No matter winter or summer.

As they say, "The house wine of the South."

No sugar or lemon just tea and ice,thats how us tough guys drink it.:

Definitely sweet tea, whether it is "allowed", or "not meant to be". I don't remember any tea laws being passed. I like to make sun tea. I use a gallon jug of water & put a family size tea bag & sometimes a few sticks of cinnamon for an added kick. Let it sit out till it gets dark & strong so it'll stand up to the ice, then bring it in & let it get to room temperature before refrigerating. Works for me!

Iced Tea, sugar and Lemon.

I should know, I was at the Boston Tea Party.
