You might be a “Southie” if...

Tea never needs sugar.. or tea even.

I find herbal teas unsweetened work just fine.

Mmmm, I do love a good herbal tea. I have an entire cabinet dedicated to teas.

I swear I did not make that map, if I had the line would be further north. No way anyone can include any part of Iowa or Illinois as a northern state.

Yeah, maybe if all you are is constipated!

I'm a weirdo that actually likes unsweet tea but I've lived here for so long that when I went to visit some family in Arizona and ordered "sweet tea" when we went out they looked at me like I was nuts...Iced tea or hot tea is all you get and you can add sugar if you want. I guess that should have been a defining moment for me to realize I'm a southie.

I don’t need my tea sweet, especially if it’s iced, but it seems to me the tea gets sweeter as you move further south. Y’all think it’s sweet in Georgia? Try the Caribbean. You can stand a spoon up in it. Literally. It won’t even freeze properly—too much sugar. Makes great “suck-sucks” (homemade popsicles), though.

It is sooo sweet here in Georgia, I can only imagine! I usually ask for mine half sweet/half unsweet and it's still too sweet sometimes! lol

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.

I guess diabetics don't drink tea in the south


Do they have hot tea/ tea bags?
