Holy shit, tea.

Best cup of tea I ever had? Cooked in a 60 year old billy (essentially a metal bucket) over an open camp fire. Nothing comes close.

A little hard to replicate in the kitchen though.

Does anyone else drink their tea non-sweetened?

*gag*

I cannot stand the taste of unsweetened tea.  I grew up drinking sweet(ened) tea and have never managed to tolerate it without anything in it.  I have significantly cut back on the amount of sugar I use though and don't drink it too often.

I grew up always hateing the taste of tea, but after Japan, developed a taste for cold green tea (mainly as a water substitute).  I like drinking that and other cold teas, but just cannot stand sweetend tea in any form now.  Which makes it hard in America, since every bottle of tea I find is filled to the brim with high fructose corn syrup.

I'm the same about sweetened tea - ugh, and take all of my tea (and coffee) sans adulterants.  I do miss the corn tea (oksusu cha) that I used to drink (hot or cold) in Korea.

You must be below the Mason-Dixon line.

Why would you ever sweeten tea? WTF?

Much like if you ask for tea over here it's always iced tea -unless you're at some sort of ethnic restaurant- it's just about the only way you can get it in the Southern US.    Sweetened Iced Tea.
