I'm from NYC and didnt know much about sweet tea till i came to the south as well (Florida). Micky D's Sweet Tea is OFF the HOOK!! I love it. Yea i get it with NO ice so it doesnt get watered down and take away from its sweetness. I also get 2 at a time to drink one in the moment and the other goes in my freezer until slushy Mmm Mm Good!! Haha. I'm going to test #11 (Bob)'s recipe with the Dollar General bags. A couple bux, hey its worth a shot
-Holds up Micky D's Sweet Tea- Cheers everyone!!

Mcdonalds located in Gorman, CA
We just tried this tonight for the 1st time at the request of my 10 yr old daughter after school. We loved it so much we went back after work and got another one to share.My only concern was is it sweatened with corn syrup or sugar? The lady told me sugar but could not confirm how much caffeine was in it. I hope it sticks around. J Phillips Lebec, CA.

i live in arkansas and love mcdonalds sweet tea. i am a heavy tea drinker and i drink about 3-4 of the 32 once a day. what i do to cut the calories and sweetness of it a bit is i get it half to three quarters of unsweet and then the rest sweet. its still tastes great and sweet but not overly sweet. you can taste the flavor of the tea itself which is important and sometimes i like to add a touch of cinnamon to it. its funny, when i stop at night coming home from work to order a couple to take home of course they give you two straws. well both teas are for me, so i have a handful of extra straws in my glove box……. finally started telling the server they are both for me and i only need on straw.

Down here in South Texas mostly what I've seen is sweet tea made with brewed tea mixed with a sugar syrup (half sugar/half water, heated on the stove until all the sugar is dissolved. The syrup is mixed with the tea at a starting ratio of one part syrup to 4 parts strong brewed tea. Then it's either adjusted to taste by changing the ratio or people put more sugar in their glass. Good stuff even when made poorly, great stuff when made correctly

Even though I live in Iowa, I'm a Son of the South. For those of you who think it's TOO SWEET….you don't know what the crap Sweet Tea is, do you? I like Mcdonald's sweet tea pretty well…but it's not the best. I have better recipes than that. Everyone i know likes my tea (well, those of them that actually like tea to begin with). I agree with the author of this, there needs to be some baking soda brewed and make the tea a lot stronger, then sweeten it up quite a bit more. goooood stuff. go check out Sweet Tea Junkie (google it, or i think this is their myspace - - myspace.com/sweetteajunkie ) great guys.

I am from originally Penn. where sweet tea was unheard of. When my family moved to Georgia, Sweet Tea was a hit!!! My grandmother would make it by the gallons every day. Then over the years my mom would make it. We always had sweet tea in the house. We hardly ever had soft drinks, so sweet tea was it.
A couple of years ago I had a job that required me to travel all over the country. The first thing I would do is look for a restaurant that had sweet tea for me to purchase and take with me!!! The company I worked for had sweet tea, but it was not available for carry out. So I had to get tea from Chik-fil-a or McDonalds. In my opinion, Mickey D's has the BEST tea in all the states!!!! I now buy it by the gallon, and have everyone in my home drinking it. We don't buy soft drinks anymore, except when we go out to eat.
There is something that a lot of people don't know about tea. When it is old and dosen't taste good, it has a stale honey flavor to it. So people at restaurants need to know how to tell when it is bad and make fresh. Enjoy Sweet Tea!!!! Way to go Mickey D's!!!

I'm from Los Angeles, and I just tried the sweet tea offered at my McDonald's and was a bit dissappointed; not in the tea but in the service. I love teas in general, so I was excited to try this new tea. What I didn't know about the tea before I read this posting was that it was a southern style tea and is brewed sweet. So I got my hot tea in the morning; one large cup of plain hot water, one bag of tea and NO sugar whatsoever. So my experience with this new tea was not a good one. I needed one more bag of tea and I had to use honey from my house to sweeten it.

I live in Brooklyn, I don't take my coffee or tea sweet, and yet I love McD's Sweet Tea. Nobody was more shocked than me, but there's just something addicting about it!

I live in Michigan and I love the McDonals Sweet Tea. First taste, I was hooked. The sweetness is perfect. I always order it with light ice and it still stays cold for hours.
