I can remember when in restaurants in the south the tea was never sweet. My aunt had a seafood restaurant in NW Fl and she is the first one that I remember ever serving sweet iced tea. In fact her place was reviewed by some magazine and they mentioned that..about the sweet tea. Naturally you have to sweeten it when it's hot and I like mine "aged" overnight before I drink it. I know..I can be weird at times!!! LOL
