It does have to be properly brewed loose tea from Sri Lanka. Okay DH is 100% English and we are tea snobs.

Tea snob here too but holding back since this is about iced tea.

I made a pot of whole leaf Ceylon tonight and poured it over ice. It has to be drank almost immediately to maintain the flavor.

Why would anyone drink unsweet tea. Thats just gross. It tastes like off flavored water seriously. lol

I'm from Southern IL. I can drink sweet tea by the gallons.

Yum yum.

I love it cold or hot.

Snowhunter uses the same recipe as I do.

I hate sun tea though. It makes it too tangy.

I'll tell you what though. The best tea ever is from Mcdonalds.

I am also a tea "snob". Freshly brewed filtered RO water, tea leaves, not tea "dust". Brew 3 min. 2 tsp sugar, 1 slice lemon for one cup. I drink 1 cup hot tea in the morning, then freshly brewed iced tea for supper. Sugar in the 1/2 gallon iced tea, then lemon slice in each glass.
Absolutely abhor flavored teas. Absolutely abhor instant tea. Absolutely abhor "bought" tea. Absolutely abhor southern "sweet tea". I tried a glass one time, put almost a whole lemon in it---still too strong and sweet!!!!! Yuck!
I use Luzianne for my iced tea. Three family sized tea bags. Mr Coffee has an iced tea brewer that makes awesome iced tea fast!

Same in Texas-sweet. Is there any other way?

No. There is no other way. Anyone who says there is, is lying.

I do love sweet tea but not as sweet as my Aunt makes it. Her's is more like syrup.

Sweet...anything else is just weeds in water.

 

[KinderKorner]

I must say I hate flavored teas. Such as peach, apple....

I also hate bottled teas, or lemon in my tea.

I love mine strong and sugary.
