Sweet tea is a drink prepared hot but consumed cold. The cold part is best done via refrigeration. Bringing hot water, tea, and sugar are not going to achieve the same results.
Have you ever had southern sweet tea? The flavor is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea. If you want to drink sugar water and brown coloring why not drink a coke?
This seems like a US thing I’m too European to understand
(aka. they bring us the ingredients, and we make our own tea at the restaurant table)
Yeah in the US they have this thing called sweet tea (some places have a choice between sweet and unsweetened tea).
To make sweet tea they just unload a tanker truck full of gum syrup into cold tea. That’s what it tastes like to me.

it’s best not done at all to be honest. Just drink a soda like a regular person.
Some people like the taste of tea over the taste of soda, even if both are equally sickeningly sweet.
