But sugar dissolves in cold water. It just takes a bit longer. This is 9th grade chemistry. At 20°C 203.9g sugar are soluble per 100ml of water.
[Edit: Sorry, for the Americans here: At 68°F, 1 cup of sugar is soluble in 21/50 cups of water.]
Wikipedia (de): Zucker cites Hans-Albert Kurzhals: Lexikon Lebensmitteltechnik. Volume 2: L – Z. Behr, Hamburg 2003, ISBN 3-86022-973-7, p. 723.
And most of all, solubility being a function of the temperature, if you lower it the excess sugar will leave the solution and cristallize.
Have you seen how much sugar those hicks put into their tea though? It's gotta be hot because they put coca cola grade amounts of sugar, to the point where it wont dissolve in the water anymore. Sweet tea contains 36-38 grams of sugar per 16 oz. That's a fucking soft drink.
example: you don't make a pitcher of kool-aid with hot water.
however, adding sugar to the hot tea does work better than adding it after it's already chilled.
Well that explains the diabeetus.
Sugar should be heavily taxed, it's so dangerous at rates of more than 10 grams a day
It should be taxed on the corporate side. Taxing sugar on the consumer side becomes a poor tax, because poor people will still want sweets from time to time, making those treats now more and more expensive. Well off people will just accept the tax because it's marginal to them, but when your chocolate bar that you treat yourself to once a week goes from 1.29 to 3.29, then it really fucks your day up.
What should be done is incentives to provide less sugar/glucose-fructose on the product side and encourage companies to make snacks and beverages that have less sugar content.
It doesn’t make a difference which side you tax. If consumers are taxed then corporations will still feel it through reduced demand for their product. If corporations are taxed, consumers will still feel it through increased prices. The tax burden does not depend on who is taxed, but rather how elastic supply and demand are.
i hate when i go down south and go to restaurants and order iced tea and get a glass of concentrated sugar water

Lemmy is now getting reposts. We've reached critical mass!
I don't see the point of having reposts here, not like there's visible karma or anything.
Also, I loved you in that thing!
Reposts aren't just because of karma whoring. It can be a crosspost or someone saw it and just thought it was funny and wanted to share it to a community they liked.
You may also be one of the first 10,000 today too.
Or simply because not everyone sees every single post and knows it's a repost...
Do you not know of the internet repost database? It's a repository of all posts ever made to every website. You're supposed to go to it every time you want to post something.
It's over here... In my basement. It also has cookies.
So you’re saying you want me to come over to your basement, eat cookies and browse memes? I’m in.
Well, it's the gays or atheists. Or "colored" people. Or whoever they are told to hate at that moment. This happens more than you know in this day and age:
Surprised you forgot "people who might be transgender (wE cAn AlWaYs TeLl)"
Of course they can tell, how else are they going to pick their preferred partners to cheat on their wives with.
I'm preemptively not serving gardeners or lawyers just to stay ahead of the curve.
I play tennis and don’t serve against gay people. They make me feel funny with their passionate moaning. /s
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)
What's called sweet tea in the US is overwhelmingly sweet. That was my reaction to it the first time I tried it. It's so sweet, the only way you can get that much sugar in it is if you dissolve that sugar in hot tea.
If I order a cup of tea, I don't want to get a cup of hot water and a tea bag. Bloody continentals.
As a server, southerners stare at me in wide eyed awe when I pour a disgusting amount of simple syrup into a glass of iced tea.
"four seasons-having piece of shit" lol I'm going to start discriminating against people based on their seasons.
"Everybody is welcome at my house!... as long as you've experienced snow, that is"
Sugar will dissolve in unsweet tea, it's just slower. If you can't dissolve it in cold tea, then it wouldn't stay in solution in hot tea that was cooled down.
For someone complaining about northerners not knowing 9th grade chemistry, it sure sounds like they weren't paying attention themselves.
Chemistry knowledge! Sweet tea is actually a supersaturated solution. That means there more sugar in the water than could normally be held in suspension. This is achieved by heating the water so you can dissolve more solute in and then chilling it. Remember theres at least 2 diabetes worth of sugar per glass.
That's kind of disgusting. So southern style sweet tea is basically just tea flavored simple syrup?
Yea, when my family did a trip down south, i asked for some sweet tea, thinking it was like Brisk, but i couldnt believe how sweet it was.
if your drink is sweeter than pop, its.. scary.
Damn, I knew sugar was bad for you, but boy it looks like it can make you really irritable. Stop drinking so much sugar y'all. It's nasty.
That's OK. I don't eat 'em.
Perhaps the real tea is the shitposts we made along the way.
I mean it would be inconvenient but they would still dissolve, they aren't super saturating sweetened tea in the south.
the correct response to somebody trying to order sweet tea in the north is and always has been this quote from 30 rock:
“I'm gonna come back in 5 minutes, if you try to order off menu again I will slap those glasses off your face.”
Sweet tea is trash anyway. Might as well just dump sugar into the water and drink it why even have the tea in it at all
We got Union as hell on this post, didn't we. Every time I come back it has more comments.
I'm still mad as fuck that I can't get my precious Lipton Instant Tea at Walmart, because I really was raised in a trailer park, so maybe that's why I had to delete my own giant shitty comment about this.
It's mostly water?
I don't have to heat up lemonade to make the sugar dissolve in it; why would tea be different?
I kinda like the sugar at the bottom, but I'm a degenerate like that. (I've mostly excised my sweet tooth now. My dad is in his 50s and almost died from diabetic shock, with no knowledge of his condition)
