    The correct pronounciation is, "Swaeet, or unswaeet?"

    I live in Atlanta...& of course, I LOVE sweet tea! I brew it using green tea bags, & sweeten it using agave nector (low glycemic) and/or a combo of real maple syrup. They both contain healthy nutrients, and added with a slice of fresh orange/lemon/or lime it is a great way to chillax on a summer HOTlanta day!

    When I lived in the south I worked at Applebees. Each shift we had 3 - 3 gallon containers of sweet tea and 1 - 1 gallon container of unsweetened tea. The sweet tea containers usually had to be re-made during the shift. The unsweetened didn't.
    Voting here doesn't make it any different.
    Southern Iced Tea = Sweet Tea.
    I am now diabetic, I think partially because of my love for Sweet Tea, and now need to use artificial sweetener. In my opinion, only Splenda makes diet Sweet Tea that tastes like Southern Tea.
    *raises my glass of sweet tea to all*
