Sweet tea

GUNMETALSCION · 08-14-2009, 09:04 AM

none of the restrauants on property serve sweet tea and putting sugar in unsweet after brewing is not the same (ask anyone from the south) why is this ???

Being a Southerner myself (but an unsweet tea drinker, because it's healthier), the only way that Disney could possibly sell sweet tea would be to sell the Nestee version found at soda fountains. And if you are a true sweet tea drinker - well, that just isn't real sweet tea! Sweet tea must be brewed fresh with the sugar added while the tea is still hot. At one point, sweet tea was sold in the parks at the counters that had McDonald's offerings. But now that they are gone, so is the sweet tea!

Im always confused by the tea in the southern US. Here in ontario when you ask for tea you get hot teabag tea.... and I got so used to asking for "hot tea" on my last trip (so that I wouldnt get unsweetened cold tea) that for months after I got back I kept asking for "hot tea" at all the local coffee places and getting some REALLY weird stares lol. Thats one thing about trips to disney, I sure do miss my Tim Hortans steeped tea.

nestee is like kryptonite

Sweet tea is soooo nasty! I'm surprised all southerners aren't diabetics by now.

Sweet tea is the best stuff since sliced bread

GUNMETALSCION · 08-14-2009, 03:29 PM

if you have only had it at resturants it is prety sweet, if you have only had it at fast food places it's really really sweet . I bet the tea i make has less sugar than your $3.00 moca choca frothy whiped sprinkled starbucks rip off cup of coffee

I truly believe that there is a special place in H_LL reserved for the person who came up with the idea of fountain tea. That stuff is horrendous....

I used to only like sweet tea on vacation. Now that McDonald's has it, I get it all the time.

Sorry! Couldn't resist...
I agree, though. Tastes like turpentine or somethin'.

BTW... Congrats on the upcoming trip!

Best bet is to take some gallons of swee' tea from Smithfields Chicken and Barbeque with you. Smithfields is a uniquely eastern Carolina chain, so you might have to make do with your local Georgia restaurant.

We were pleasantly surprised this past January to find sweet tea at The Garden Grill restaurant in EPCOT. This is the only place in WDW that I know of
that has real sweet tea. This alone makes The Garden Grill worth a visit.

And yes sweet tea is the only way to drink tea. It's bitter and nasty without it. I have learned to drink it with Splenda, to keep off the weight I have lost, but its not the same as sugar.

I haven't tried Truvia. I'll have to try it. I buy Milo's tea by the gallon at the grocery store. They make it with Splenda and its better than I can make at home.If they have it up north try it. It's good!

Maybe the Garden Grill is starting to make a great thing(WDW) into an even better thing(sweet tea)!! LOL

ohiodisneydad · 08-15-2009, 05:58 PM

Truvia is much sweeter then Equal so you have to test it out to find out how much works
