I make sun tea every day. Peach flavored and delish!! I don't sweeten it at all and it goes great with any stick I'm having. I'm actually having an El Centurian as I type this and my tea is right beside me. Yummy!!

Oh for pity's sake, I had forgotten about sun tea since I moved here. I will remedy that.

I like Iced Tea as well, and believe it would match up nicely with any cigar as long as it's not too sweet. Excluding any infused cigars, which I very rarely smoke.

I am a tea freak. I gave up soda/pop along time ago and always drink ice tea. Green, black,orange what types of tea leaves I can get. Smoke a Lucky 13 with a glass of green tea oh so good.

I drink iced tea with my daily stogie for most of the summer. I say "most" because I'll sometimes have a beer or my favorite bourbon instead. But you guys from the south have me curious. According to Wikipedia, sweet tea is simply iced tea with sugar in it. I don't usually put sugar in my iced tea, just some lemon (either juice or a squeezed wedge) but what really is "sweet tea" and how do you southern guys make it? Is Wikipedia right? What's the big attraction to it? Inquiring minds want to know.... Lol.

Simplest explanation is that it's a super-saturated solution of sugar with some mild tea and lemon flavour. Great in small doses, potentially diabetes inducing in large doses.

what bigharpoon and allsmokedup said. I don't know about a little tea flavor; I think strength of brew is to taste. I don't like lemon, and I usually find that it's added later. I make the tea itself pretty strong. But the key is the sugar is added when the tea is hot, and a lot of it. It supersaturates the solution compared to adding sugar to cold tea. Pour over ice and wait just long enough for ice to melt a good way, diluting the strength of the tea to something more normal but not forcing the sugar out of the solution.

I enjoy sweet iced tea, such as raspberry or peach with any cigar. I very much dislike anything carbonated like pop or beer. I wish Snapple still made mint iced tea. Used to love that stuff back in the 90s. I dont like making my own iced teas. Just doesnt taste the same.
