Sweet Tea

Sweet tea is a chilled, often Southern-style drink made by brewing black tea and sweetening it with sugar, typically served over ice and sometimes flavored with lemon or other additions. People usually log it either as a prepared “sweet tea” entry with a common serving size of about 8–12 fl oz (240–355 mL), or by tracking brewed tea plus teaspoons of added sugar when they want to record exact sweetener amounts; it’s commonly consumed with meals, at barbecues, and as a casual refreshment.
