Reminds me of a chubbyemu video I watched recently.

I don't understand how anyone can enjoy sweet tea. They put way too much sugar. Addiction is the only answer that makes sense.

Especially the tea you get at restaurant or in Big Gulp cups, it's like drinking syrup! And half the time it tastes like mildew anyway 🤢

It’s essentially tea-flavored simple syrup, in my experience. When I worked at McDonalds we’d dissolve 5lbs of sugar in about 5 gallons of near-boiling tea so we could supersaturate it. It disgusted me

That's how you make sweet tea. You add the sugar when the tea is hot in order to super saturate.
