1. HERETIC!

:P

Your poll is biased. Sweet Tea is God's gift to humankind.

[sasquatch]

7. Blasphemy!

:P

[kentauros]

33. Then at least use Stevia leaf

or licorice root/anise seed to sweeten it. Cane sugar just makes it taste like canned Nestea

[TZ]

2. I like it alot

And having done a thread of my own about this several months ago..Sasquatch get your flame suit out!:popcorn:

[sasquatch]

8. Nice post, Dan Snyder

[Tektonik]

[Tuesday Afternoon]

4. I bet you put sugar on your grits...

[deepthought42]

5. hey...

I resent the words "godless" and "abomination" being used in the same sentence! :P

Especially to describe something as horrendous as sweet tea! :puke:

:hide:

[Midlodemocrat]

6. Is disgusting.

:puke:

:puke:

[Fire Walk With Me]

9. Does it involve either deep frying or grits?

[kentauros]

37. to quote Cousin Vinny:

"What is a grit?"

:P

(yes, I know what grits are; Native Texan/Terran here ;))

10. I was born and raised in The Heart of Dixie and while I am not a tea drinker..

Super sweet tea like my Aunt Claudia used to make is awesome. 3 cups of sugar per gallon, so sweet so good. Unsweet tea is horrible.

[Shell Beau]

30. Wow, I live in Mississippi and that kind of tea is too sweet for me.

1 cup of sugar is plenty sweet!!

I bet that tea is like syrup!!! ;)


But yea, unsweet is NAAAASTY!!

[Schema Thing]

11. Hold the sugar, and you have a delightful beverage

the perfect compliment to your pecan pie.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

12. I'd rather drink maple syrup.

[sasquatch]

16. Me too!

:puke:

[PfcHammer]

13. Drink of teh gawds

Ice cold, dark, dark tea with a shitload of sugar
and a wad o mint and slice of lemon. Drink it like water in the summer.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

14. ....is iced tea done right.

Seriously, what is the point of unsweetened ice tea? It's like drinking dirty pond water.

[TZ]

15. !

I think you have it right....:patriot:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

25. Absolutely. Iced tea isn't iced tea unless it is sweet.

Love the avatar. Enjoy it until December 8th.

[Duppers]

17. your taste bubs are dead!

I love tea any way it's served!

Stop the bashing; we not all stupid hicks down here! :banghead:

[Critters2]

18. Sugar is the surest way to ruin iced tea!! nt

[sasquatch]

26. And coffee

[TZ]

28. ICK! You like black coffee?

You have no taste..but then..I knew that when you picked the Bengals D for your fantasy team....:P

[sasquatch]

42. No I like cream, no sugar

And that D is the only thing on my fantasy team that's worth a damn.

19. damnyankee

I bet you do put cream and sugar on grits.
Naw, you don't even eat grits.
;-)

[Ghost in the Machine]

20. Leave my sweet tea alone, ya damned yankee!!!

Since I quit drinking over 13 years ago, my sweet tea is the *only* thing I drink now. No milk, no juice, no water, no sodas, no kool-aid, nothing but sweet tea.... I think I'd shrivel up and die without it!

Leaveeeeeeee my sweet tea aloooooooooooonnnnnneeeeeeeee!!!11!!!11!!

:hi:

[sasquatch]

21. You need to start drinking again

:hi:

[Ghost in the Machine]

24. People don't like me when I drink....

Hell, *I* don't like me when I drink....


:hi:

[NightWatcher]

22. alerted alerted alerted. Sweet tea is the best

[mnhtnbb]

23. This NY born woman living in the south loves sweet tea so much I titled

my first play "Sweet Tea and Spirits".

[Sheltiemama]

27. Sweet, life-giving nectar.

[Lethe]

29. i'll take a non-sweet mate

the good stuff

[iamthebandfanman]

31. any ice tea is yummy

its that darn hot tea that needs to be banished to the bowels of hell ;)

[SacredCow]

32. Well, it depends on just HOW sweet we're talking....

Sweet Tea, as ordered in Mississippi- :puke:

[Sophree]

34. I love tea in general.

And Southern Style Sweet Tea is delicious. Have to be in the mood for it, though.

[RushIsRot]

38. Nectar! I especially love it with saccharin in it. Cant tell the

difference when you're as young as I was when I first tasted this elixir.

[Lyric]

40. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Especially when made with mint leaves.

"Hummingbird Tea" is what my Gramma called it--sweet, sweet tea that had crushed spearmint leaves added during the brewing process and strained out before adding the sugar. Mmmmmmmm.

[Sophree]

36. YUM!

That sounds SO good.

[Lyric]

39. It really is. It's incredibly refreshing when it's hot.

You can make a version with Bigelow's "Plantation Mint" tea bags if you can't find fresh spearmint leaves, and it's yummy too. :)

It would probably be good made with Splenda rather than sugar (for the diabetic DU'ers) but I haven't personally tried that yet.

[Wapsie B]

41. Haven't had it so I can't tell.

But it would take an awful lot to be better than ice-cold pure drinking water. Not much of a tea drinker. But gimme that ice water!
