Depending on where you get your sweet tea, there are different amounts. I believe it varies between 1 cup (48tsp) in a gallon in the more Northern South, and 2 cups (96 tsp) in a gallon in the deep South.
I make one gallon of tea to which I add 1 and 1/2 cups of sugar for the level of sweetness I desire. Unfortunately, this equates to 72 teaspoons of sugar per gallon or 4.5 teaspoons per 8 oz. glass. There are 48 teaspoons in a cup of sugar. Looks like I better start drinking more water than tea!

The water in sweet tea is water. It's tea because it has tea in it. The sweetness comes from sugar or high fructose corn syrup. Boil water and sugar together, add a tea bag, pour over ice = sweet tea
Nope
Sweet tea because of the high amounts of sugar present within its contents. Unsweetened tea has no sugar, therefore the ice does not melt as fast.

There are 16 tablespoons per cup, and 3 teaspoons per tablespoon. That makes 48 teaspoons per cup, and a quarter cup would be 12 teaspoons. Although the spoons from the silverware drawer are called soup spoons and tea spoons, a tea spoon is rarely 1 tsp in volume. You'll need to use a measuring spoon to measure out teaspoons and get it right.
Sweet tea is not a pure substance as it is often made with false sugar and other preservatives.
studies show most people put two lumps of sugar in their tea
Sugar or water is the Solvent in Sweet Tea. The solvent is the substance that exists in the greatest quantity of a solution, so I think it's definitely sugar or water not sure though.
The amount of calories in a glass of sweet tea depends on the amount of sugar and other sweeteners that are added to the tea. An 8-ounce serving of the average bottled sweet tea contains 90 calories and 23 grams of sugar.
No. Sugar is unhealthy.
