>> a sweet tea world <<
Having lived in the South for more than 50 years, I don’t remember ever hearing the term “sweet tea” from one of my fellow Southerners. We call it “ice tea,” served year-round, even on the coldest days of the Winter.
(Of course, it’s ALWAYS sweet — therefore no need to specify. And yes, it’s “ice tea,” not “iced tea.” Last but not least, I was in my 20’s before I learned that tea also could be served hot!)
I learned that the hard way. Got quite a culinary jolt when ordering iced tea for the first time in Huntsville, AL. I learned then and there to order unsweet iced tea (this Westerner perfers it that way), but I still get sweetened tea half the time at the drive-through window.
