Why would anyone feel it necessary to put up an instructional video about making iced tea?

Besides, he did it wrong, anyway. The sugar shouldn't go into cold water.

The best way is to use a coffee maker. 1.Lay four or so tea bags in the grounds bowl thingy. 2.Run a pot of water through them. 3.Pour it in the pitcher. 4.Put in a metric buttload of sugar while the tea is still really hot and concentrated. 5.Stir till it disappears. 6.Pour over ice so that it melts to the strength consistency you prefer. 7. Consume in prodigious quantity.

Although in all fairness, nowadays I do that without the sugar.

What a big ol' carpetbaggin' goober he is!!! First of all...you either know how to make sweet tea, or you don't. He clearly does not.

I was born knowing how to make sweet tea. And you *never* put the sugar in the cold water!!! Never ever!!! You know, I wonder if someone didn't teach him wrong, out of spite, so they could sit back and watch him advertise his stupidity.

'Cause that's what I would've done.

Boil some water. Put your tea bags in a pyrex measuring cup and pour the hot water over them, and allow them to steep until the color of coffee.

Fill a pitcher with ice. Remove your tea bags from the pyrex, and stir in a bunch of sugar. A *bunch* of sugar. Stir until completely dissolved, then pour hot, strong tea over the ice. Your desired color should be about the same as polished red oak. If it is too strong, add more ice, or gently pour in *cold* water.

Garnish with lemon, lime, or mint.

Well, but that's not sweet tea. Anyone can make plain ol' tea. Sweet tea requires a perfect balance between the bitterness of the tea, and the sweet sugar. To err on either side ruins the whole pitcher. Its an art. And I'm an artist!

I tried to order unsweetened tea in a restaraunt in Georgia once. That was funny.

Tried it in Tennessee. The waitress said sure, gave me a funny look and brought me sweet tea. I didn't drink it. I like tea strong and bitter, or not at all.

I used to travel with work quite a bit. I found it tough to get in Central and South Florida and from Maryland on up.

"Sweet Tea" isn't even a thing up here. "Sweetened" tea drives all the souther transplants insane! I understand it's supposed to be a superior product, but alas! I've never had it. Cherie's recipe may just come in handy this summer.

The south has better food for the most part. I can admit you guys got us on the pork rolls and Philly Cheese Steaks though.

By better do you mean more fattening?
