Everything in the
South is Sweeter
We know that everything is sweeter
in the South. Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and
Dr. Pepper are all from the South, as
are pecan pie, pralines, and banana
cream pie. Sweetness has been adopted
into our lexicon — honey, sweetie,
sugar-pie. Even our whisky is sweet.
If you were born below the Mason-
Dixon line, it is assumed that there is
sugar in your tea — and lots of it. In
fact, some call it the Sweet Tea Line.
North of that boundary, tea mostly
comes unsweetened, and you have to
order “sweet iced tea” if you want it
that way. South of the line, you just
ask for “tea.” Anything else is simply
superfluous.
Ask any Southerner where the best
sweet tea is served, and he or she
will have an opinion. Sweet tea car-ries
deep meaning for Southerners.
Traditionally, Luzianne is the preferred
brand. The correct way to make it is
to pour boiling water over pre-sweet-ened
tea leaves.
How much sugar? Well, like David
Gibson wrote in “Chile Pepper
Magazine,” “Carolina sweet tea coats
If you see someone stirring sugar
into iced tea, they aren’t Southern. Pre-sweetening
tea with a lot of sugar while
it’s piping hot is the only way to dissolve
every grain. A substantial amount of
sugar must be added to the hot tea base
— there’s no debating this. A syrupy
base is what separates sweet tea from
sweetened iced tea.
Since the 1950s, the tea of choice has
been Luzianne or orange pekoe. The
