HERESY! You yanks have gone too far now!

Of course you put the sugar in the tea while its still hot. Its the only
way to get a quart of sugar to dissolve in a gallon of tea?!?!?

Pssh. Duh.



I was in a nice restaurant in Boston a few years back and asked if they had
iced tea (not going so far as to ask for "sweet iced tea"). The waiter
brought me a cup of hot tea with a glass of ice.....hrm.....no wonder they
threw all their tea in the harbor. If it tastes like that I'd throw mine in
there too.

When I travel, its always amazing to me what just a few hours drive can do
to your taste buds. This country has a broad spectrum of different likes
and dislikes. I like them most (except the hard rolls).

I'd much prefer the bacon grease to "sweet tea." Ugh, this is one vile

part
of the southern cuisine. I watched one of my NC friends at Oshkosh hunt
in vain for sweet (iced) tea (they kept bringing him sugar)...real sweet

tea
is a supersaturated solution (you have to disolve the sugar while the tea
is still hot)...Margy uses it as a lesson in her chemistry classes.
