Hot sweet tea or cold sweet tea?

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

As of late it seems like everywhere I go that has a sweet tea dispenser the tea is always warm if not outright hot.
Why is this? I've never known anyone to drink sweet tea hot, but that's how it is in the Chinese buffet and in the university cafeteria.
On one hand it accentuates the sweet flavor, but on the other hand it just feels wrong.

It's shitty employees not bothering to ice it. Sweet tea should 100% be consumed ice cold you're a fucking psychopath if you drink that shit hot.

 

[Matt Damon]

Tea is for faggots and sweet tea is for obese diabetics.

 

[SpotOnTheWall]

Anyone who drinks hot iced tea is severely disturbed.
It's only worth drinking when it's fridge cold.

Ice cold unsweet tea for me.

It's hot or warm because they just made it. Put a lot of ice cubes in it.

Usually the tea is made piping hot then you put in the ice to both cool it and dilute it a bit. Or you can chill it and have it concentrated. If I want hot tea I go for another kind rather than pure black tea.

It's concentrated, you fill your cup with ice and add the tea to cool and dilute it to normal strength.

Cold unsweetened tea or hot tea with honey.

There are no other options.

Cold or nothing, though when I was a kid I was a psychopath who used to leave his tea and coke out in the sun to get hot

The tea has to be hot in order for the sugar to dissolve properly. Fill your cup with ice first, then pour the tea into it.

Does bubble tea count as cold sweet tea?

 

[Jason Wynn]

Not big on sweet tea to begin with, but when I do drink it, I prefer it hot like regular tea.

Guess I'm a psychopath

No, and you know better or you wouldn't have asked.

The only degenerates that drink hot tea are the bri’ish. The only use for hot tea is when you’re sick.

 

[WolfeTone]

Hot sweet tea is great. I prefer unsweetened tea cold though.

My twisted fucking psychopathy was more about the "leaving cans of coke in the sun" since I can kinda see some people preferring to warm up teas that are meant to be cold

Hong Kong style milk tea poured through an old sock.
