i'd say it qualifies as sweet tea but i dont have the credentials to answer this question.
Being in Mississippi, I have the credentials - if it had sugar in it - it is classified as sweet tea - but only if iced - hot tea NEVER classifies as sweet tea

i am a very michigan, very non-sweetened iced tea girl and when i went down south for my first time i made the mistake of ordering a iced tea and got sweet tea. I wont lie, i gaged a little. I try to appreciate it but it's just too much for me to handle...
I'm from south of I-10, so I'm a sweet tea sister!
I-10 is the Mason-Dixon line for me. I've lived almost my whole stateside life south of I-10... if you live north of it you are in yankee territory...
Ummmmm....them's fightin' words dude.... I've been called A LOT of things...but YANKEE has NEVER been one of them - LOL! And YOU have HEARD my accent....YOU should KNOW bettah!

I truly do not mean to offend anyone, but me and my friends from home have always maintained that anything north of I-10 is Yankee! I made someone in Baltimore-by-way-of-Alexandria VERY MAD by saying that.

I don't take offense at it at all - but that is because I am really from nowhere and everywhere - military brat - so I really have no claim to being a Southerner or a Northerner
Growing up right outside of DC, I know the debate about where the South starts very well. Since my mom's from Mass and my dad from Brooklyn, I never thought of myself as a Southerner until I started going to camp in Maine - where they said I had a huge Southern accent! I might say y'all every so often, but I barely even have a Maryland accent. Must have been because they were all such hardcore Yankees.
for me... Yankeeland starts somewhere in mid-Virginia. That's where the two worlds collide.
Someday, I will venture up there... but it makes me skeert. True Yankees are kinda mean and look at me funny when I try and talk to them... down here I start random conversations in line at the grocery store, it's normal. I was in Detroit (yuck!) a couple years ago and they thought I was a nut... this one lady actually turned her back on me when I said "Hi"....

it's so strange that people in the north don't drink sweet tea.
It's so typical in households here in the south.
We ALWAYS have a pitcher of sweet tea.
My friend who move to Austin, TX works at a Chili's and they don't have sweet tea. If you ask for it, they bring you hot water in a coffee cup, with a tea bag.
I have to agree sweet tea from Mccallisters is like a little gift from God (insert whatever God you wish). When I was in college my roommates and I would go to McCallister's every sunday to nurture our hangovers. And, nothing did a better job than a huge glass of sweet McCallisters tea with lemon of course.
Now that I'm married my husband has a family recipe for sweet tea that includes a ridiculous amount of sugar so I want even touch that stuff anymore. I go for the "plain tea" now-a-days. He brews a pitcher every day and by the end of the day it's gone. It's good stuff but not very forgiving if you drink it everyday.
