Can you use icing sugar as a substitute for when making tea?

Here's why:

* Icing sugar is for sweetening: It's a refined sugar, used to add sweetness to food and drinks.

* Tea uses tea leaves: Tea is made by steeping tea leaves in hot water. The leaves contain tannins and other compounds that give tea its flavor and color.

* Sugar doesn't brew like tea leaves: Icing sugar wouldn't infuse into the water like tea leaves. It would just dissolve and make your tea very sweet.

If you're looking to sweeten your tea, use:

* Sugar: White granulated sugar is the most common choice.

* Honey: Adds a natural sweetness and a unique flavor.

* Artificial sweeteners: These are sugar-free options.

* Milk or cream: These add sweetness and creaminess to your tea.
