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.
Yes, yes it is. To be fair, what do you think soda is though?
According to Wikipedia:
Coca-Cola already has a disgusting amount of sugar. The mere idea of this makes me queasy.
Yeah, I don't like my sweet tea like that, but I've been to people's houses that it's just diabetes in a glass.
That's stupid sweet but not supersaturated though. Saturated would be ~200g per 100g of water.
Depends on who makes it... McDonald's, 7-11, and the like use about twice the amount of sugar that's really necessary and it does not make it better.
Masshole that lives in the south I have no idea how everyone I know isn't on insulin. Sweet tea is an abomination of sugar.
When I lived in the south, everyone I knew was
Indeed, give em a few years.
Where did you get that? It would be like honey if that was correct. Also, that is not called suspension but solution, since the particles dissolve (unlike fat in milk, but that is an emulsion since the fat is a liquid).
I thought a supersaturated solution could easily be brought out of supersaturation by something like sticking a spoon in it? Am I misremembering?
It depends on the nature of the solution.
I highly doubt that, since any shock or impurity would cause a supersaturated solution to separate into a solution and the excess sugar.
