Now, tea comes two ways, tea and unsweetened tea. I once ordered tea in the upper midwest and got a cup of hot tea, unsweetened, bleck.
I was in Georgia and had a waitress ask if I wanted sweeaat teeaaaaa.(southern accent does not translate well) I had no idea what she was saying, my husband had to translate. His family grew up in Southern Illinois where sweet tea is a staple.
