Well I know tea preferences vary by region so here in my area of the south most tea is "sweet tea" and "iced tea" isn't really a thing, you have to order "unsweet tea' lol.

Anyways, pic related is decent if you like sweet tea and are too lazy to make your own. No corn syrup used of course, sounds odd to actually use it in tea. Very sweet though, I add a ton of ice or add water to water it down some when I drink it. I'd say give it a try if you like your tea sweet but I kind of doubt it's widely available outside a few area in the southeast.

That's more sugar water than tea, though. There's literally by measurement more sugar than tea.

No doubt, like I said it's extremely sweet, I have to water it down.

The tea excludes the water from the tea as it will be tea extract or something. If you make your own there will be more water than tea too (and probably more sugar as tea is usually brewed fairly weakly)

No, the sweet tea one is. That's why it has a picture of a swamp and it says "Sweet Tea" on it.

Think McDonald's sweet tea. Most "southerners" I know drink it super sweet or straight unsweetened. I am of the latter category.

OP i drink this erryday:
cup of water in microwave for 40 seconds to get it a bit warm, borderline hot.
Put in a family size tea bag-lipton or luzianne- for 4 minutes. put in sugar if you want - 2 teaspoons if low level sweet.
Pour over ice cubes and lemon wedges.
top up with cold water.
pour in a big travel mug and you get a lot and it stays cold

I'm from way up north, but now I live in Tennessee. My boyfriend gets Milo's. Apparently it's really good. I don't drink sweet tea. The most frustrating thing is going to a restaurant and having to correct them fifty times. "Unsweet tea, please." "Alright, sweet tea." "No, unsweet tea." "Sweet tea." "Alright, a coke." "What kind?"

>sweet tea

Its sugar water with a tea flavor. No better than Kool Aid. I'm surprised that you're surprised by it, almost everything sweetened here uses corn syrup because its cheap. If you want tea then make some and hold the sugar and sweeteners. Sweet tea is barely tea, its just tea flavored sugar water.

>> No.5388894

Now that you mention it, the packaging really is uninviting. I know it's trying to be high end (or at least as high end as sugar water gets) but it would be better served in a regular plastic milk jug.

>all these sweet tea hating northern faggots

im gonna go brew a jug of best tea right now

my technique:
bring 1/2 gallon of water to just bellow boiling
pour over tea bags
let steep for 13 minutes
remove bags
sweeten to taste
fill other half of gallon container with ice
you now have a gallon of the best tea known to man

Speaking of Alabama, I'm one of those faggots who scans everything in a supermarket with his smartphone to figure out where it comes from and what companies own it. I was looking for prebrewed iced tea that didn't have corn syrup and wasn't owned by an evil conglomerate.

Turns out the winner was from Alabama. It was perfectly brewed and sweetened in just the right ratio with cane sugar. Tastes like victory. Thanks Alabama.
