Iced Tea or Sweet Tea: What’s the Difference?
Youve probably noticed cold glasses of tea being called iced tea and also sweet tea. They are basically the same thing with one difference, sugar. Sweet tea is a staple in the southern USA, where tea is brewed and heavily sweetened, cooled and served over ice.

What Sweetener to Use
Although you can simply use refined white sugar, brown sugar, especially dark brown sugar, is especially nice in this spiked tea. The hint of molasses is perfect with the rum. You can also try demerara sugar or coconut sugar for the same effect.
