How many cups of Sugar go into a perfect gallon of Sweet Tea?

[Wyank]

I honestly don't see how/why people drink unsweet tea. It is nasty.

I'm from the north. 3 - 5 years ago hardly any restaurant around here had sweet tea. I'm just the opposite. Drink sweet tea up here or visiting my brother or sister in SC trying southern style sweet tea has the same effect. Feel like I just put nothing but sugar in my mouth. Way too sweet. So nasty.

Some of you are cruising for either diabetes or dentures, if not both.

says the krispy kreme employee?

[Kettle]

haha. I don't eat them everyday though. hell, I go weeks without having one. I bet you drink 32 oz of sugar water a day.

that's b/c you're using in the raw...that poo is gross

i love this stuff...tried another brand and I ended up taking it back. I use it in coffee...tea...my husbands kool aid...yes he drinks kool aid...I cook with it...it's fantastic

I couldn't find pure Stevia last time I went to the grocery store so I'll have to widen my search a little more.

All the big name brands just fluff it with stuff like dextrose to make it even out in ratio to sugar because Stevia it sweeter in smaller amounts. That leads to the bitter after taste and higher price. What ratio do you use for stevia to a cup of sugar?

And yeah, I don't understand the unsweet tea drinking when it's the low grade tea bags. If you are using a premium loose leaf or bag, I'm in. Both my girlfreind and my ex ordered unsweet and then added sweet and low at the table...never understood that.

I don't drink soda (they all have more sugar than sweet tea) and I only make sweet tea once every few weeks.

you in charlotte?? I get mine at Healthy Home market on S. Blvd...I bought the big one $30..yes it seems expensive..but I've had it since March and it'll prob last me til the end of the year..and I use it ALL the time...I highly recommend it

no clue about conversions...I've looked it up before...I make my husbands kool aid with it (yes he drinks kook aid :) ) and we just taste as we go

I drink black coffee, maybe 8 oz of soda at lunch cuz the breakroom has a fountain machine and its better that way, and water til an evening beer.

[Niner National]

I make tea with 6-8 teabags and 3/4 cup of sugar.

It doesn't even really make the tea taste sweet, it just takes away the bitterness and really enhances the flavor of the tea.

Most restaurants make awful sweet tea. Basically tastes like sugar water.

[GentlemanJack]

4 regular bags and 1.75 cup of sugar

No, but I've been interviewing there so I'm hopeful something will happen. If I'm in the area I'll stop buy and look or try some more specialty places around here.

I doubt most of us would turn down kool aid, we just don't want to admit it.

1 1/3 is what i use

[Herbert The Love Bug]

honestly 4-5 if you want legit sweet tea and not that yankee imposter crap
