Sweetened teas are beverages made by adding sugar or other sweeteners to brewed tea. They can be enjoyed hot or cold and come in various flavors, including black, green, and herbal teas. Popular sweeteners include granulated sugar, honey, and artificial sweeteners, allowing for a range of taste preferences. In many cultures, sweetened teas are a traditional drink. For example, sweet tea is a staple in the southern United States, while bubble tea from Taiwan often features sweetened tea combined with tapioca pearls. These drinks can be customized with different flavors and levels of sweetness to suit individual tastes.
