Largest Iced Tea
The largest iced tea ever created was 2,524 gallons ad created by the town of Summerville in South Carolina on 10 June 2016.
I am not a fan of southern sweet tea it is very sweet. More sugar then tea. This iced tea was brewed using 210 pounds of loose leaf tea and 1,700 pounds of sugar. Way more sugar then tea. The organizers used 300 pounds of ice to chill the tea, however this failed to reduce the tea to the required 45 degrees. Guinness book of World requires requires iced tea to be at 45 degrees or less. They had to us several hundred more pounds of to meet the guideline requirements.
