Topic: Sweet Tea! | |
---|---|
So I was at a friends house, and got some tea. I thought it was too sweet, and they thought I was crazy.
Can Sweet tea be too sweet? How much sugar do you add to a gallon? |
|
|
|
Here in SC they use a teaspoon of tea to a cup of sugar...

Not sure but I do know that you should add the sugar while the water is boiling to make it right. I actually like unsweetened tea myself. Last thing I need in me is sugar.........

I guess it depends on your sweet tooth and how you were raised. Some folks from the south like it the sweeter the better.
I go by the kool aid method. It takes 2 packs of drink mix to make a gallon. Each pack says to use a cup of sugar. I do not like it that sweet, so, I use 3/4 cup per pack of drink mix, or 1 and 1/2 cups instead of the usual 2 cups recommended per gallon. |

I usually use 1½ C. per gallon. I asked my friend how much they use, and she said, "I dunno, I just pour it in." So I was just wondering. |

No sugar. Period.
Here, they like to have 'a little tea with their sugar' ... |

I like a good cup of sugar.
Maybe wave some tea fumes over it. |

I live on homebrewed iced herbal teas. Right now, Im drinking blueberry/green tea. I brew it in a big pasta pot. I use very little sugar maybe 1/4 cup to a Pasta pot full. I find the sweeter it is, the less it quenches my thirst.
