Sweet or Unsweetened

I take my Iced Tea unsweetened. For the most part in Texas, every restaurant is required by the masses to carry Iced tea. But in most restaurants they only carry unsweetened. The exception to the rule is BBQ places which require sweet tea, and southern and home cooking restaurants.
How do y'all take your Iced Tea?

Sweet
I hate in Tx or anywhere else when you get unsweetened and try to mix in the sugar and get that granular taste

It's a southern thing ...sweet iced tea.
When you see someone order unsweet tea...They be a Yankee

O’Darlin!
Sweet Tea is the House Wine of The South!
The sugar must be added to the fresh brewed tea as it comes out of the kettle so it dissolves completely and becomes 1 with the tea. Then Ice is added.
If people (Yankees) can not take it “full strength” then they should ask for half & half. This is half pre-pared sweetened and un-sweet.

sorry tim, not a yankee, but I order unsweet because most sweet teas taste funny to me. Adding splenda or equal works for me, unless they make weak tea....then it needs much more sugar.

I've lived all my 41 years in La. and I must say that I've probably consumed less than a gallon of tea--iced, sweet, unsweet, whatever--in my entire life.
However, I remember my mother being pissed when, up north, she would order tea with dinner and she got a teacup full of hot water and a Lipton Tea bag.
(OK, no tea bag jokes...my mom died a few years ago. )

unsweet is the way to go...sweet should be an option...but I don't discriminate against the majority...

sweet is the only way to go. i quit ordering tea here in Illinois because it just makes me mad; it will always be unsweetened and you can never get the sugar to dissolve enough to actually get the tea sweet.

What's wrong with a choice? I can't have sugar, but a lot of you can. For me it's unsweet, and Bubba, I ain't a Yankee. I don't drink alcohol and tea usually the only non-sweet alternative to diet coke. I also like a club soda with a lime wedge, but I have actually been charged the price of a cocktail for this, luckily I caught it and raised hell.
What annoys me is not getting lemon on refills without asking, then someone has to make a trip and comes back with a saucer of 20 lemon wedges. If I used the lemon on the 1st glass, why wouldn't I want it on every refill? Rarely you find a place that takes pride in its iced tea and has several varieties, very pleasant.

i'm ok with a choice as long as they have both kinds pre-made. if all they have is unsweetened, it is just not the same. virtually impossible to get granulated sugar to dissolve in a glass of ice tea.

If all they have is unsweetened, you should ask for a 1/4 cup of near-boiling water along with it and make a simple syrup out of all their sugar packets.

I like it sweetened (only with sugar), and add lemon

When I am forced to drink unsweet tea(as I was at the Hawks Nest)I have to go with the sweet and low....because...

sweet, but at home i drink unsweetened iced green tea.

Unsweetened, if I'm going to drink sweet tea, I might as well order Kool-Aid.

Half and Half always.
It seems that many people like their sweet tea to have a syrup consistency and I just can't do it like that.When I was a teenager maybe, now not so much.

Sweet tea is the only way to go IMO. You have to add simple syrup when its 75% done to get deliciousness

+1 (I can't believe I just agreed with a Bama fan!)
But I like having the choice too, 'cause my mom is diabetic and can't have it sweet.

I only drink it sweetened. Any restraunt that does not have sweet tea can kiss my business goodbye!
