    This seems like a US thing I’m too European to understand

    (aka. they bring us the ingredients, and we make our own tea at the restaurant table)

      Sweet tea is a drink prepared hot but consumed cold. The cold part is best done via refrigeration. Bringing hot water, tea, and sugar are not going to achieve the same results.

            Have you ever had southern sweet tea? The flavor is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea. If you want to drink sugar water and brown coloring why not drink a coke?

    Maybe the amount of sugar that cold water easily accepts is the correct amount to not taste like shit

      Yeah, and if you saturate hot tea, won’'t the sugar simply materialize back as the tea gets colder? Seems to me that nothing about this has to do with saturation.
