Iced Tea

[Vegas Halo Fan]

You add sugar to Iced Tea???  Man, way to ruin a great drink.

 

That statement will get your ass kicked in the south. Sweet tea is a food group south of the Mason-Dixon line. And nobody I've found out west makes it worth a damn.

when I go to kc a few places have that sweet tea, or if I ask for regular tea that's all they have.

I'm not down with the liquid brown sugar.

One of the best parts visiting my family in Arkansas was having the fried catfish and Sweet Tea. I could drink gallons of it. But my favorite is thai iced tea.

On average how "old" is the tea at In-N-Out? If I understand you correctly, it must be really fresh if it's still warm?

I really like the flavor, but adding a ton of ice waters down the flavor because it melts so quickly.

It's brewed every few hours or as needed. But actually you've got it backwards with the ton of ice part. If you don't put enough ice it melts the ice quickly. If you add a ton of ice, like filling it to the top of the cup then it cools it faster and melts less ice. The same is true of soda that comes out of the fountain.

So a couple of years ago INO moved into Dallas. We serve fresh brewed sweet tea there. It is brewed just like the other tea but as it's brewing we stir in a pound of sugar. What's crazy is it's still less sugar than a soda. But my point is it's a really big deal for INO to add to our actual menu. In my 26 years they've only added four things total, ice tea, lemonade light, DR pepper and Xlg drinks. The only other thing that's really changed is we now serve coke products, we use to serve Pepsi.

VHF, I have had sweet tea before.  In Alabama and FL.  I thought it was awful.  It was like drinking pure sugar.

 

The whole reason I drink Iced Tea is because it doesn't have any sugar in it.  I gave up soda about ten years ago and switched to iced tea.

Sweet Tea is pretty much the worst thing on the planet.  Nothing beats regular Iced Tea unsweetened, just ice and black tea.

 

Die.

[RallyMo]

Love it, personally.

 

Die.

[Bruce Nye]

I love iced tea and am weeny.

 

 

Fixed

Bruce, you mean "I love iced tea while wearing lipstick"

 

You're slipping man. Very disappointing.

Question- At what point does it become painfully obvious that the Angels are not doing jack during the off-season and Soring Training is still months away?

Answer- When a thread about iced tea hits 4 pages.

Are you new?

What the Angels are doing has no bearing on our propensity to go on forever about stupid crap.

When the Angels were perennial contenders,we had a similar thread about the abomination that is the Arnold Palmer. I'm pretty sure it was more active than the gameday thread when we were closing out the Red Sox in 2009.

Also: iced tea is serious business. Check yourself, bro.

Iced Tea is excellent.  Arnold Palmers are excellent too when they are about 75% Iced Tea.

Yeah, but if I add a ton of ice, I'd have to go back for tea refills every 3 minutes. 

 

I'm just too lazy and inept to pull that off...

[Stradling]

Then enjoy your inferior tea

[Tank]

Ice T and Coco are da bomb.

PLATINUM AND BLACK ATTACK!

You've been corrupted by the sadistic ideas coming from Stradling's brain

[mp170.6]

Actually I'm pretty sure Stradling is racist because we're both white guys. 

 

Now if I were some Asian babe, he'd be reaching into his pocket for a $1000 bill

Stradling hates Asians ever since I sold my TV to gotbeer and not him.

About a year and a half ago I had to make a one week trip to Fort Worth for a training session. As I was driving from the airport to the hotel I spotted INO and a Taco Cabana near to each other and those were my regular eateries. Even though half my family is from Mississippi I never acquired the taste for sweet tea. Always had my own pitcher of slightly sweetened or plain.
