Then you are not actually drinking "sweet tea". You are drinking sweetened tea.

Look it up, fake southerner.

To be clear, we boil the tea in a tea kettle, then pour it in a pitcher, and then add sugar and stir after about 5 minutes.

Wait, what? If they both have sugar in them then they are both sweet tea. Unless you're talking about half and half (as the bougie crowd likes to call it)

and if you find it at a restaurant, they typically have a prefab kind of 'sweet tea' made with high fructose corn syrup as sweetener.

We literally brew it first in the kettle, and then add sugar. Which is what your distinction was.

I pretty clearly stated sugar being added in the HEAT vs sugar being added at the table. But you go on and keep telling yourself whatever it is you need to.

No, you did not say "at the table", you said during the brewing process of after. We brew it in the tea kettle and then add sugar.

Nope. They are different. Sweet tea is made with sugar added during the process of making it, no? Sweetened tea is just brewed tea with sugar added after it is already done.

When a fluid is hot, it can have more salt or sugar dissolved into it without it falling out. (Science, bitches) That's why actual sweet tea is sweeter than brewed tea that has sugar added to it afterwards. Most restaurants outside of the deep south will only serve sweetened tea. Which is in fact, unsweetened tea that you add sugar to at the table.

This is such a debate in semantics. If you call it sweetened tea then it has sugar in it. There is no difference.

Try to give a real southerner sweetened tea when they ask for sweet tea. Then you'll see there are no 'semantics'. :art

BTW... I had this sweet tea vs sweetened tea debate hammered into me by my three sisters who were raised and have lived their whole lives outside of Atlanta. They truly get offended when they try to order sweet tea up here and get served brewed tea and told "The sugar is on the table." :lol

Have you ever lived in the south? To be fair, back in the day you got unsweet tea and added saccharine at the table. Still semantics. It's sweet tea in the end. But, that was way back in the day.

If Georgia, South Carolina and Texas count as the south, then yes. I have.

If you go into a restaurant down here now you just order sweet tea.

As an aside, we get into the stupidest debates on this board sometimes. :lol
