The fuck I thought I got onto Lemmy for a second, I DO THAT. LİPTON PEACH İCE TEA WTİH BEER
I really didn't expect this comment section to make me actually want to try it...
it makes beer far better than what it is usually, if it wasn't for the after taste I would consistently drink it
(After taste of beer. I hate the aftertaste of beer.)
Rookie mistake. You use Almdudler for that.
I haven’t tried that but it sounds like a crime towards both beer and almdudler.
Man, I gotta get me some almdudler.
I would assume that ice tea is more bitter, right? (Obviously depends on how long you let it steep.)
If it’s the USA, then “iced tea” may actually mean “sweet tea” (an American South tradition), which is often prepared something like this:
- bring 1/2 gallon (1.9L) water to a boil
- place 8 large black tea bags in a 1 gallon (3.8L) pitcher
- pour boiling water over the tea bags in the pitcher
- steep 10-15 minutes, then remove tea bags from the pitcher
- add 1 dry cup (220g) granulated sugar
- stir the slurry until sugar is dissolved
- fill the pitcher to the top with ice cubes
- wait 20 minutes for ice to chill and dilute the tea, gently stir again
- serve
It may be a stronger tea, but so much sugar gets added (probably 3x what would be used to sweeten tea served hot) that you typically don’t notice any bitterness.
There's unsweetened ice tea there though. I don't understand why that isn't the default though :(
It’s primarily much sweeter due to the shitton of sugar
Only if you add sugar. (Sugar does NOT belong in tea!)
But it is an essential part of ice tea. Hot tea can be good with or without sugar, imo. Depends on the tea and my mood.
Tea does not need sugar, whether hot or iced (at least I don't know anyone irl that puts sugar in tea (actually I just thought of one person but I don't like them or talk to them much)). Sweetened drinks are extremely unhealthy and there's probably a reason most places in the US serve unsweetened ice tea.
On hot summer days I sometimes drink 3l of ice tea. That would be extremely bad if it was sweetened.
In my head (as a German), ice tea is almost always store bought like lipton ice tea. You very rarely get anything else anywhere. Restaurants don’t usually serve home made ice tea. It’s a soft drink. When I make myself tea at home, it’s almost always hot. Unsweetened black tea just tastes awful when it’s cold. The hot tea sometimes gets sugar, like when I make myself lemon tea (black tea + lemon juice + sugar), although I do like to use stevia instead of sugar for the same health reasons because I sometimes drink 2-3 pots (1.5l each) a day in winter and that would indeed be a lot of sugar.
When I have ice tea it's usually a fruity black tea, still no sugar though.
If my (hot) black tea gets too strong (I have a tendency to forget about the strainer) I just add (extra) milk, though that doesn't sound like it would work for ice tea.
Radler is no Bier!
This is actually basically how a lot of "hard iced tea" and "hard seltzer/wine coolers" type drinks are made. It's just the most flavorless piss beer with flavors added because that's cheaper than adding grain alcohol to thinks to spike it cleanly.
Alcohol production licensing laws probably play a larger role than the cost of ethanol.
Wine coolers usually use the most flavorless piss wine rather than beer but yes.
You've heard of the cocktail, now introducing the pussytail.
Some of those things have the same or even more ABV than hard liquor. Pussytail my ass.
I'm gonna have to ask you to show your work.
Hard liquor such as gin, rum, vodka or whiskey are usually bottled somewhere between 80 and 120 proof, or 40 to 60 percent ABV. Can you show me a wine cooler, malt liquor, hard soda or similar product that breaks even 10% ABV? Most beer is somewhere between 3 and 6% ABV.
Just off the top of my head: Four Loko.
Shit is usually between 14% and 25% ABV ever since they took the caffeine out.
And there is even stronger brands I've seen but never tried.
From Wikipedia:
Four Loko contains carbonated water, sugar, and natural and artificial flavoring including FD&C Red 40. The drink is sold at 6%, 7%, 8%, 10%,12%, 13.9% or 14% alcohol by volume (ABV), depending on state regulations, and is packaged in 23.5 oz (695 mL) cans.
14% seems to be the top end, not the bottom end, and not available everywhere at even that strength.
So in some markets Four Loko does break 10% but comes nowhere near 40%.
Now write me a 5 paragraph MLA formatted essay with at least 4 citations on what "showing your work" means to you.
Anime reaction, therefore unfunny
I want to try it now!
