When it comes to ice tea which do you prefer sweet or unsweet tea??? I do not like unsweet tea. I so prefer sweet tea, I've had it since I was a kid when my mother made it for me. Now I make it for my kids. I find that sweet tea is more common in the south then in the north.

Eww...sorry but I can not stand sweet tea! I put a dash of milk in my hot tea and once in a while a bit of lemon in my iced tea. My oldest daughter loves sweet tea hot or cold, my oldest son likes his the same as I do.

Since quite along time,I have been drinking unsweetened tea. Though it is a necessary regimen to keep my diabetic condition at bay, I really enjoy it and feel that sugar actually spoils TEA.

I make sweetened tea, but I do not use sugar. I also do not to use artificial sweeteners. I use stevia, which is all-natural, and makes some of the sweetest tea ever. And, stevia does not affect glucose levels.

I like sweetened Iced Tea too but it contains a lot of sugar which is not good. I stopped on my sweet tea intake and shifted to hot unsweetened tea instead. Unsweetened ones are healthier to drink.

I like it both ways but I try to avoid sugar as much as I can so I usually have it very lightly sweetened or unsweetened. Ideally, I like it sweetened with Stevia because it's natural and low calorie.

I like sweetened tea, but I don't care for sugar. We use Splenda or one of the Equal knock offs to sweeten our tea. I do agree that sweet tea is a southern convention, I think its because its easier to sweeten it when its hot.

I like to make my own sweet tea so that's it tastes just right. I have done this for many years. My mom and dad used to make it while I was growing up. I think that's how I got started on it. I drink more sweet tea during the warmer months as well. I don't like drinking hot tea with or without sugar. Just never had the knack for it.
