5M4M contributor Jennifer Donovan is here to share about the Solo Summer Sippers contest. We were compensated for helping them get the word out.

I live in Texas. It’s HOT here (and yes, it’s so hot that it deserves all caps). Like a good Southern girl, I like iced tea. I love it. But I’m a bit of an anomaly here in the South, because I like “unsweet,” as it’s called when you order it (“Sweet or unsweet?” the waitress will ask).

I always have brewed iced tea in my fridge, but for those who drink sweet tea, adding sugar  just isn’t the same.  I have one friend who has spent lots of time with me enjoying my backyard pool this summer  A couple of times when I was making tea, and I knew she was coming over, I put some into a smaller pitcher and added sugar while it was still warm, lots of sugar. That’s the secret, you know. You add more sugar than you think you need to (that’s where I went wrong when I tried before), and you mix it in while the tea is still warm. Start with a nice strong brew, too.

  23. I’m with you, I drink “unsweet tea” too! I go through a gallon every other day. I live in Florida, so it’s HOT here too. Thanks!
