When it comes to ordering sweet tea from Mcdonalds, if you don't want alot of ice just ask for light ice and they give that to you know problems. I always ask for light ice and have never been disappointed.

I have lived in the south all my life and have grown up drinking sweet tea. When it comes to Mcdonalds tea I think it is perfect! I do need to always put lemon in my tea to add to the flavor but as a southern girl I really do love the sweet tea from Mcdonalds, and they do put lemon in my tea!

Maybe every Mcdonalds brews their tea different when it comes to each state but you can't get a better tea when it comes to the Mcdonalds here in Northeast Florida!

I am hooked on McD's sweet tea ,I am from GA so I know how tea is supposed to taste, however I can almost duplicate it by simply using 3 Dollar General family size tea bags dropped into a quart or so of boiling water in a pot already sweetened with 1 and 1/2 cups of sugar, take it off the burner and let it steep covered 5 minutes then pour it into 1/2 gallon container and fill with cold water.

I find it funny that they call this a Southern thing. I know that it originated in the South, but Northerners are big sweet tea drinkers too. I live in Northern Indiana, and I think that I only know 2 non-sweet tea drinkers. If we serve drinks at our events, we have to serve tea, and it has to be sweet.

McD's Tea is a sweeter tea than Cracker Barrel tea up here. Cracker Barrel tea is not as strong or as sweet…but this is the North. McD tea has stormed our area, and there are many days that we go to buy one, and they are sold out! Seriously, no more tea…we waited for them to make more. It is popular. And for good reason.

I LOVE McDonald's Sweet Tea! I grew up in the North on Sweet Tea and didn't realize that so many people didn't know about Sweet Tea. I know that many prefer unsweetened tea.

I've tried to come close to the McDonald's Sweet Tea here at home and have not been able to get it right yet. I'm wondering if it's the bran of tea I'm using (Lipton's) that is making the difference. Any one else have any ideas?

I live in KC, and I am a fan of sweetened tea. McDonald's does a great job on their tea in my opinion. It is VERY, very sweet.

I work at a mcdonalds in Cincinnati and I have to say it's one of the most popular drinks. I mean, the sweet variety is, the unsweetened is hardly ordered. Seems like its making them plenty of money. I've had it, and it is way too sweet for me. I only drink unsweetened tea.

I can't resist getting the sweet tea from McD's! It's not the best I've ever had but I still like it. I'm not from the south but I'm a sweet tea fan.
I feel they should reduce the amount of ice that they put into the cup . . . not enough tea. I wonder if the amount of calories indicated is based on the high levels of ice and low levels of tea? Otherwise, that number could easily double!!

As Michelle stated, the quality of the tea does vary from store to store, although I didn't find a relation between the ethnicity of the servers. A few places make it so weak that it is barely colored water. Fortunately, most of the McD's I've visited in the Chicagoland area are fairly consistent.

I agree with Randy that Cracker Barrel is number one as far as sweet tea is concerned. For those of you who find the McDonald's sweet tea too sweet, ask for a wedge of lemon and squeeze it.
