they both have sugar, they both are cold. the south seams to think that sweet tea is better, when, to me, it is exactly the same.

Sweet tea is iced tea, but the sugar is put in when it is still hot, so the sugar melts and the sweetness is really strong and really even throughout the drink. Ice tea is not necessarily sweetened, but it may be. If it is, it us usually sweetened when it is already iced.

Sweet tea has more sugar in it than iced tea.
When tea is made, it's made hot. Then ice is added to cool it. With sweet tea, the sugar is added whilke the tea is still hot, which means there is a higher saturation point for the sugar (more sugar can be added). Iced tea is cooled, and then sugar is added. It will hold less sugar when it's cold, and is therefore not as sweet.
And sure, youc an try and add more sugar to the cold drink, but once it reaches its saturation point, any additional sugar will just sink to the bottom of your glass, rather than mixing in with the tea.

to some people like me, sweet tea has way more sugar than what I call ice tea. They are the same thing in a way, just some people drink their tea sweeter than others.

eco-friendly tea is a terrific newbie tea for absolutely everyone attracted to experimenting with the huge international of tea. It has basically sufficient flavor without being too formidable, as against white tea, it is quite diffused. Plus it has much less caffeine than black tea. i in my opinion love Republic of Tea (word: a sprint expensive, yet wonderful high quality), Tazo, and Yogi teas.

Iced tea is not necessarily served sweet. Most restaurants ask if you want sweet or unsweet or just assume you will add sugar and will serve you unsweetened tea.
Sweet tea is always sweetened.
