Have you ever read a forum for “sweet tea”?

A forum–you know, ask a question online and get an answer from everyone you’ve never met?
I just Googled “How to brew sweet tea”. I usually make tea in 1-liter batches but want to branch out to gallon-sized and thought quadrupling the tea bags was unnecessary.

These people are hilarious, and fit all the stereotypes of North and South tea drinkers.

I mean, let’s face it, “tea” is sweet tea on ice to nearly everyone in the South. Here it is “boiling hot in a tiny glass, do-it-yourself-sugar”. The North serves unsweet tea: makes me nervous just thinking about it.

We’ll see how the gallon turns out.
