Did you do it the awesome authentic way with the tea bags and steeping in the sugar while it’s super-hot? Yes, that is the best. You can also experiment with like just a hint of mint and stuff like that.

Yup, I did it with the teabags and dissolving the sugar in when it’s hot.

When I want to get diabetes and destroy my teeth that effectively I usually just do an IV drip, but that’s just me.

Have you ever had it before? Here in the south it comes with almost every meal. I personally don’t like it anymore.

I’m Canadian, so I first experienced it in St. Louis.

Rosco’s favorite drink: Soy organic gluten-free non-conflict free-range Kopi Luwak with an extra shot of tofu.

Fast food sweet tea is different. Bojangles (which is a fast food chain popular in North Carolina, and is kinda super awful), is famous for their biscuits and sweet tea. While I think their biscuits are terrible, I do believe their sweet tea is the bomb. I work at Chick-Fil-A (famous for our chicken and our homophobia, the latter of which is certainly not fun if you’re not straight. I speak from experience), and we also have wonderful sweet tea. Our lemonade is better, though.

So yeah, next time you’re in the South for whatever reason, stop by both of these places.

Ah! That brings back memories. Many, many moons ago, I worked at the one PoFolks north of Mason-Dixon line, and making the tea was one of my jobs. One of my coworkers was infamous for making tea right before closing, since we got to take home whatever was leftover.

Origins of sweet tea: A southern love story.

“If your sweet tea is not thick and sweet enough to out on pancakes, you didn’t make it correctly.”

I’m familiar via the magic of working in a summer camp kitchen one summer. We’d usually prepare that shit about 35 gallons at a time - enough sugar to kind of caramelize on the pot just a tad...
