You might be a “Southie” if...

I guess diabetics don't drink tea in the south


Do they have hot tea/ tea bags?

I guess diabetics would have to substitute Splenda, and get used to the taste.

There’s always hot tea if you go to a Chinese restaurant and I do have several different kinds of tea my DH has brought back from China. Generally though, I don’t want hot tea when it’s hot and I want hot chocolate when it’s cold. Color me crazy.

I dedicate this to my Southie friends that deny they are a Southie..



You might be a Southie if you have never driven a truck across a frozen lake..

I am originally from NW GA and have transplanted to NE AL. At any local restaurant around here you just order tea, it will be sweet as they have no unsweetened. Now if you eat at say a Cracker Barrel along I-75 or I-65, where a lot of northerners eat as well, they have both kinds.

I have been making sweet tea for more years than I care to count (cause I can’t remember anymore) and I boil a pot of water (about 2 cups) along with 2 or 3 family sized tea bags, then turn the eye off and let it steep until I get ready to mix it up, but no longer than 12 hours. I then mix the tea concentrate along with 1.5 cups of sugar to make one gallon of the best iced tea ever. Yum! There’s nothing that quenches your thirst better than a good ol glass of sweet tea. Not too sweet, just perfect.

1.5 cups sugar for a gallon! Dang that is sweet.

Wanted to say my mama came. From south Ga and when she made sweet tea the spoon would stand up straight In the pitcher it would have so much sugar In it.

And good.

And good.

I use about 3/4 cup sugar for a gallon. And sometimes that's too sweet after it sits in the fridge overnight.
