ORIGINAL: sirsholly not to hijack...a southerner told me there is a HUGE difference between Sweet Tea and Iced Tea. i looked Sweet Tea up on the net and it seems the same as Iced Tea. Anyone know? Ok, *putting on southern drawl* darlin' let me explain what you damn yankees do not get about our tea. *chuckles* There are 2 kinds of tea served in resturants in the south.. Sweet tea, and non sweet tea. A good southern belle always drinks sweet tea. we were raised on it. It runs in our veins. Now you also have "Texas Tea" Strong, dark, sweet as hell tea. This is uauly boiled with the tea bags in it to a concentrated form with the sugar, then water added to it in the jug. ( I skip the boiling process in mine and do a Sun tea version of it. ) Then you have "Church Tea" it is the weaker version of Texas Tea. Not as dark, and not as sweet.. but still sweet, iced tea. Us Wimmens down here take our tea seriously. You can *lure* a southern gent with a good glass of tea. I always have a gallon of the stuff in my fridge. I drink it.. and you never know when guests will drop in. Gwyn
