I MADE TEA BY THE INSTRUCTIONS ON EACH BOX, MEASURING THE WATER AND ALL. TO MY SURPRISE, THE BEST OF THE THREE BRANDS WAS LUZIANNE. EVEN THOUGH I HAD DRANK LIPTON
FOR OVER FORTY YEARS. THE BEST IN A BOTTLE IS NESTEA,
SWEETEN, NO LEMON. IF YOU HAVE TO ADD LEMON OR MINT TO COVER BITTERNESS, YOUR MAKING IT WRONG. I CAN DRINK TEA WITH OR WITHOUT SUGAR. DON'T TAKE MY WORD, TRY IT FOR YOUR SELF!

Having recently moved to Michigan, we had a problem (or at least I thought) - we have a local deli here (in East Lansing) called McCallister's, it has the BEST and I mean BEST sweet tea I have ever had (and I hate to admit it, even better than we made down south!) So, if you are ever in the East Lansing area - come on down ya'll and try it (or is it come on up?)!

On a nice sunny day, driving down a neighborhood block, you will see in front of every house a large gallon jug of sweet tea brewing in the sun. Primarily, the reason for using the sun to heat the tea is that the lower temperature is not as likely to destroy the delicate oils and flavours of the tea (you will be amazed at the flavor!), and the final tea won't be as hot as tea made with boiling water - which makes for great iced tea! So #39, live a little - and make yourself a batch of SUN TEA! : )

Put the sugar in the jar with 2-3 cups of very hot water & stir till sugar disolves. Put the teabags next(I secure them with a rubber band on the outside of the jar neck)then fill 3/4 full with cold water & then fill to the neck with ice cubes,put the lid on & set in the sun. In 3 hours you can wet your wistle with the "bestest sun tea in the world"(according to my husband)

I like McD's and Chick-Fil-A's, but there was something about Biscuitville's that really pleased my palate. I don't tend to buy bottled "sweet tea", there are however plenty of good variations of tea available in bottles...just gotta make sure none of that art OFFENDS anyone. (rolls eyes)

But also try sweet tea from Chick-fil-A. They taste very similar.

5-15-2008 @9:30AM JL said... I concur that the best fast-food sweet ice tea is served at Bojangle's! The best "home-brew" is sun tea made with Luzianne.

5-15-2008 @9:40AM Danielle said... First of all Mickey D's does really have a great sweet tea! Growing up in the south and now living in the Midwest it's great they offer this now so us Southerner's can get yummy sweet tea still!! Now you did not mention Nestea sweet tea which is very delicious! I would definitely recommend taste testing this sweet tea!
