    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.

        I highly doubt that, since any shock or impurity would cause a supersaturated solution to separate into a solution and the excess sugar.
