    I mean it would be inconvenient but they would still dissolve, they aren’t super saturating sweetened tea in the south.

      Depends on where in the south you go. If people still got their teeth, no. But you go out to the boonies at a pig pickin you can get crystallizing tea. Cause if you leave it too long it’ll start to crystallize.

      That’s the good stuff.

        Not quite. It gets close to saturation with some of the sweetest brands, but typically no. See below comment for where this confusion is coming from. Remember that rate of dissolution varies as temperature…

        No, even with the 2 cups of sugar per gallon it seems to make sweetend tea it still isn’t super saturating the mixture. It might make it take longer to dissolve but it’s not because the tea is fully saturated. They could put 4 cute per gallon and it still wouldn’t be fully saturated, even when cold.
