Correct me if I got anything wrong, TA!
I'd personally would appreciate all the effort even if it wasn't right. I'd drink it to be polite, I don't usually drink tea.

Meh, I've had worse.
Also just leave the tea bag in the tea. How else will anyone know what you're drinking!
Someone call the ICC. This is a crime against humanity.
Do Brits really never drink coffee? I have both
I'm British and I only drink coffee, but I don't meet many other people who do. Gotta bear in mind that most people only drink either disgusting freeze-dried instant coffee, or posh boutique coffee from, at worst, Starbucks and, at best, a decent independent coffee place.
Uncouth wretches. I get mine from the gas station!

How to make Southern (US) sweet tea: put about a quart of water in a saucepan, plus 4 cups of sugar and the number of Orange Pekoe teabags you would use to make a gallon (for me it's about 8 normal or 4 family-sized). Bring to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Steep 2-3 minutes. Remove bags and stir to make sure sugar is dissolved. Fill a gallon container with ice. Pour the hot tea over ice and add cold water to fill up. Serve over more ice.
Gross...
I'm also from the South.
The recipe I grew up on (thanks to my Mom) is half as many tea bags and a quarter as much sugar and it's delicious.
Hell, you're using twice as much sugar as McDonald's does in their sweet tea.
That's excessive, amigo.
Also, be sure to use Lipton (which is orange pekoe but so are some other brands so specificity helps)... Anything else is subpar for sweet tea (iced Southern US style).
