[–] bibli0phage@lemmy.world 15 points 3 years ago (3 children) That's kind of disgusting. So southern style sweet tea is basically just tea flavored simple syrup? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Smokeless7048@lemmy.world 12 points 3 years ago Yea, when my family did a trip down south, i asked for some sweet tea, thinking it was like Brisk, but i couldnt believe how sweet it was. if your drink is sweeter than pop, its.. scary. permalink fedilink source parent [–] bustrpoindextr@lemmy.world 8 points 3 years ago (1 child) Yes, yes it is. To be fair, what do you think soda is though? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] GenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 3 years ago (2 children) According to Wikipedia: it is not unusual to find sweet tea with a sugar level as high as 22 degrees Brix, or 22 g per 100 g of liquid, a level twice that of Coca-Cola." Coca-Cola already has a disgusting amount of sugar. The mere idea of this makes me queasy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] bustrpoindextr@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago Yeah, I don't like my sweet tea like that, but I've been to people's houses that it's just diabetes in a glass. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ephemeral_gibbon@aussie.zone 2 points 3 years ago That's stupid sweet but not supersaturated though. Saturated would be ~200g per 100g of water. permalink fedilink source parent [–] scottywh@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago Depends on who makes it... McDonald's, 7-11, and the like use about twice the amount of sugar that's really necessary and it does not make it better. permalink fedilink source parent
