Sweet Tea is an Abomination

Posted by Mark | Filed under Elsewhere

Speak­ing as one who has lived in both the North and the South, I can hon­estly say sweat tea is an unholy abom­i­na­tion. Unfor­tu­nately, the fur­ther one goes South the more likely it is you’ll get sweet­ened tea if you do not specif­i­cally order unsweet­ened tea. In some hea­then lands of the South, there are actu­ally places that don’t even sell unsweet­ened tea.

Iced tea is ide­ally made by plac­ing 5 bags of black tea inside a 1 gal­lon glass (not plas­tic!) jar and set out in the sun­shine until the jar is dark. It should then be taken inside, tea bags removed and refrig­er­ated. It should be served with no more than 3 one inch cubes of ices per 8oz glass. As Jeri men­tions, a slice of lemon in a glass of iced tea is accept­able; how­ever no, I repeat NO sweet­en­ers are acceptable.

Hot tea can have a sin­gle spoon of honey added to it, if one is sick with a sore throat. Or the faint of heart can add a small amount of milk, but only if they put the milk in the cup before the tea (revers­ing the order cur­dles the milk).
