If a customer wants their iced tea sweetened, what is typically used?

When a customer requests their iced tea to be sweetened, liquid sugar is typically used because it dissolves easily in cold beverages. Unlike granulated sugar, which can take time to fully dissolve in chilled liquids, liquid sugar blends smoothly and quickly, ensuring an even sweetness throughout the drink.

Syrup can also be a sweetening option, often used in flavored iced teas or specialty beverages. However, it may not be the standard choice for customers simply asking for sweetened iced tea. Honey, while a natural sweetener, is less commonly used in commercial beverage preparation due to its strong flavor and viscosity, which can make it less desirable in a café setting. Thus, liquid sugar is the preferred method for sweetening iced tea efficiently and effectively.
