Slate on Sweet Tea
Slate on sweet tea. I think I’ve only had lame imitations and never the real thing. Or at least I hope they were lame imitations because they were NAST.

Possible cure for the common cold: Hot Coke with ginger. I will definitely make this the next time I'm under the weather. Here's a pic. [Via superlocal]
- #Leche de Pantera: a drink of milk, gin, rum, Cointreau, peppermint and cinnamon, served from some sort of stalacTEAT. If I didn't know better I would swear Josh invented this. [Thanks, E!]
- #I need a soda train in my house, ASAP. I would update this site much more frequently if a train was constantly bringing me new beverages to try.
- #The Morning News has some recommendations on bottled drinks. Fuck them if they think they can horn in on our territory. We've reviewed many of those beverages here, so definitely compare the K4T review before running off to the store. Remember who your bevperts are.
- #Portable alcoholic beverages?!?!? What the fuck next, I wonder.
- #Neat collection of mp3s from pop stars of yesteryear singing variations on the Coke theme song.

If you’ve had has come out of a bottle or had a bitter, tannin-like dry aftertaste, it’s been the fake stuff. I don’t know that it’s found outside of the South, unless a transplanted Southerner made it for you.
The real stuff is so good. It’s ubiquitous enough that you have to specify unsweetened if you don’t want it sweet.

as someone who would marry sweet tea if it were possible, i have to agree with sara and advise you to avoid ANYTHING bottled. the best shit i’ve had was only in alabama or florida during vacations but some restaurants do carry it (buffalo wild wings of all places is one.)
i suggest it warm, because the soothing sweetness almost makes your teeth explode.
