All those artificial sweeteners taste like chemicals to me. Sugar or
Karo syrup are where it's at.

their tea

It's not possible to over sweeten tea.
Do I have to explain it? Sugar must be added to tea while it's hot from
brewing, so that it will dissolve more sugar than when cold, and not be
cloudy when chilled.

It is not possible to add sugar to iced tea and turn it into sweet tea.

I have not explained this to anyone in years, having given up long ago.
If you have to have it explained, then you are not a Southerner. BTW my
wife makes excellent tea and she is originally from New Jersey, so
there's hope for anybody.
