I'd personally would appreciate all the effort even if it wasn't right. I'd drink it to be polite, I don't usually drink tea.

Also just leave the tea bag in the tea. How else will anyone know what you're drinking!

Someone call the ICC. This is a crime against humanity.

How to make Southern (US) sweet tea: put about a quart of water in a saucepan, plus 4 cups of sugar and the number of Orange Pekoe teabags you would use to make a gallon (for me it's about 8 normal or 4 family-sized). Bring to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Steep 2-3 minutes. Remove bags and stir to make sure sugar is dissolved. Fill a gallon container with ice. Pour the hot tea over ice and add cold water to fill up. Serve over more ice.

Gross...

I'm also from the South.

The recipe I grew up on (thanks to my Mom) is half as many tea bags and a quarter as much sugar and it's delicious.

Hell, you're using twice as much sugar as McDonald's does in their sweet tea.

That's excessive, amigo.

Do Brits really never drink coffee? I have both

I'm British and I only drink coffee, but I don't meet many other people who do. Gotta bear in mind that most people only drink either disgusting freeze-dried instant coffee, or posh boutique coffee from, at worst, Starbucks and, at best, a decent independent coffee place.

Uncouth wretches. I get mine from the gas station!
