Tea....sweet or not to sweet.

[wbraswell]

I drink mostly unsweet, with lemon. If I help myself, I will put just a little sweet in the bottom then fill the rest with unsweet. I can see no reason to use an artificial sweetner, read the label of that stuff. No bottled lemon juice either.

Sweet tea. Putting lemon in tea is a no-no like putting catsup on a hotdog, yuck!

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

I am diabetic, so I acquired a taste for unsweetened tea 20 years ago. Don't particularly like lemon or mint but can handle them.

Gave up Tea a few years ago when my Urologist told me that it caused Kidney Stones which I have suffered from more than a few times. I now drink Lemonade (home made with real lemons) instead. Apparently, Coffee is OK (as far as Kidney Stones are concerned) and I drink way too much of that!

As crazy as it sounds, yankees can't seem pull off sweet tea like you southerners, so here I always drink unsweetened. Maybe a twist of lemon.

However, when I head south next week, I will undoubtedly have a sweet tea or two.

My to do list in Dixie also includes some gen-u-ine grits, chicken fried steak, real biscuits and gravy and some of those ribs y'all are always ravin' on. Success will be measured in pounds apon my return!!!!

If it ain't got ice and sugar it ain't tea. Larry

Wasn't that what the Boston tea party was about? A rebellion against those Yankees who drank unsweet tea?

Had a European tell me that American tea drinkers were weird. He said, first you heat it to get it hot. Then, you put ice in it to make it cold. Then you put lemon in it to make it sour and then you put sugar in it to make it sweet! Crazy. I told him that the sugar had to be added while it was hot,before you add ice. Everybody knows you can't sweeten iced tea! He just rolled his eyes.

I like sweet tea

So its that time of year, ... and most of us start making tea for those hot summer days

It's got to be SWEET. The sweeter the better. And down here we drink it ALL year round. I just had my 2nd glass today.

For several years I have mixed the sweet and not sweet. In Vicksburg last month, I learned there is a term for this. It is half and half.

The only way....

The only right way to drink tea is iced and sweet. Being diabetic though, I'm forced to drink it the 'wrong' way.

Grew up on Koolaid and thats what I drank when I married. Wife drinks unsweetened tea and makes me sweetened tea with lemon. Been that way for over 50 years.

Don't care about hot/cold/lemon/sugar but I agree with them about the weird part. I could never understand how buying tea, or coffee for that matter, like residue is ok. Lipton, folgers, Maxwell ...is ok.

Along with in anything powdered form.
