Title: Sweet Tea
Post by: Korunks on July 16, 2009, 10:23:33 AM
As I am sitting drinking some sweet tea, I was wondering how many of us here drink Tea?  I like sweet tea sweetened only with sugar (no lemon), which made me weird growing up in NY, but now that I live in Maryland it is more common.  So I guess what I am asking is, Does any else here drink a lot of Iced tea?  What is your prefered flavors?  Home made or commercial?

Home made, home made, home made.  Commercial tea is gross.

Spoken like a true northener.  While I live in ohio, and was raised in Southern Indiana, I was raised on homemade lipton Sweet tea.  We also had Sun Tea from time to time at family gatherings and such (basically let the tea bags sit in sugar water while out in the sun for a couple of hours while you are out doing something else and come back to some refreshing tea)

having worked on a farm most of my youth, nothing quenches a thirst better after a hard day of puttin up hay, than ice cold sweet tea.

Moutain Dew is better, but even then, I no longer drink soda.

As I said the last time sweet tea was mentioned on the boards:

I recently met a girl from Alabama who told me about sweet tea. From the way she described it, 4 out of 5 dentists would recommend Mountain Dew instead.

I have never had a tea, iced or otherwise, that I really enjoyed. When it comes to cold drinks, I'd choose Coke with Lime.

I was raised on Iced Sweet Tea (being from Alabama), but in the past few months I have gotten myself away from the sugary side of tea, and I have grown to absolutely love UNsweet tea! I like it hot, and I like it cold, and I'll occasionally still drink it with a little sugar in it, but not like I used to.  Too much sugar now, and I can barely even get it down.

All I drink on a daily basis is Milk (1% or Skim), Orange Juice (100% juice, no pulp), and Water (100% H20).  During the school year, I drink Powerade almost every day, due to rugby practice, running, and working out.

True, but that isn't a daily occurrence.  I usually does not occur more than 3 times a week (exactly 3 times in the past week).  ;)

I dont like normal tea but there is this one tea i enjoy... Ugh.. cant remember the name right now... smells like pumpkin. I really enjoy hot cocoa though and cappuccino...

Honestly, i drink whatever i got. When im at home i have a closet full of Powerade so ill drink that. If i feel special ill have cappuccino or hot cocoa if mom bought some.

I think I'll have tea when i get home....

Ok, got the info from the church secretary, its Chai Tea that I like. :D

I love tea almost as much as redemption!  Good thing I can do both at the same time, as anyone who attends my playgroup would know  :D(I sometimes bring a gallon to share!).

Tea, Earl Grey, hot, milk and sugar.

My New Jersey Russian family drinks iced tea (which I despise) and my Texas family (who are REALLY Texan) drink hot tea.

It's a weird reverse.

So that's where all the syrup went. I thought the cats were making chocolate syrup cat food with it. I guess I should not have beat them... :angel:

Born in Georgia, live in Texas, Sweet Tea is my life.  :)

I wake up and drink a glass of Sweet Tea, then usually a gallon of water before workout and a G2 gatorade during Workout. Then a glass of Sweet Tea with dinner.

Oh and... HOME MADE!  8)

I love home-brewed, lightly-sweetened iced tea; best stuff in the world. I don't like warm tea nearly as much except for in winter (even then, not as much as iced), but it's still better than non-A&W soda.

Getting your caffeine from Dew rather than coffee or DP is like getting your protein from a shake rather than a big, juicy steak.

My solution is just to eat steak while drinking Mountian Dew.

I am an avid tea drinker. I love trying new blends, and usually prefer it sweetened although I have been known to drink tea unsweetened. I also like flavored tea. I haven't yet decided what blend is my favorite, but it's kind of like choosing a favorite child. I don't think it would be right to do that. :D

I hate tea. *makes icky face* I do like coffee-ish stuff (Cappuccino, lattes, etc). I'll drink coffee on occasion.

Well, drinking tea unsweetened is sort of an acquired taste. I don't drink unsweetened tea when I can avoid it. Only when I'm at a restaurant when there's no sugar on my table and I don't want to bother the waiter/waitress to bring more.

Ah Colin, in that case I actually do drink black tea.  Sweetened and unsweetened depending on how I feel.  So I guess your not alone.

I don't really like a lot of tea(which might be surprising since i was born in alabama and live in Georgia) and i think only my dad really likes sweet tea. I mostly drink a lot of koolaid and water.

I'm a huge fan of hot tea. I drank a  variety of flavors:Jasmine, Raspberry, Peach, Pomegranate, Black, Green, and Strawberry. Every night I drink one or two cups of the stuff. I LOVE IT!!!

Yea, caffeine has absolutely no effect on me.  I have drank a 16 oz cup of coffee before bed (NOT decaf of course), and then go straight to sleep.  I actually prefer my tea unsweetened, and I usually like it with only the flavor from the tea leaves. If I want orange flavor, I'll drink orange juice... I want my tea to be plain tea.  I don't like Earl Grey too much though...

Ditto.  But when I do, the dreams I dream are numerous and vivid.  Happens with sugar before bed, too.
