I will drink sweet tea, but I don’t like it. It goes back to my childhood, my mother wouldn’t let me drink it, and I acquired a taste for unsweetened (an un-lemoned) tea that persists to this day.
In my twenties, there was many a party where I went thirsty because all the tea was sweetened, however, as I have gotten older, I’ve learned to drink it when nothing else was available.
Unsweetened Lipton tea! It doesn’t get any better than that. It’s the only drink for the hot summer days when your body needs fluid. Tastes better than water, and quenches thirst better, too.
That's your problem. Try making your sweet tea with Luzianne.
I drink unsweetened and un-lemoned (I tell them “lose the fruit!”) tea too. Brewed Lipton is great...that Nestea crap some of the restaurants serve down here in South Texas is NOT tea! It’s just nasty! I don’t use sugar of any kind, in anything. It gives me a such a sugar high that I get all jittery and then I crash and want to go to sleep, I just can’t handle it.
