We have hot tea and cold tea.. and if you want cold tea you either want Ice Tea (unsweetened) or Sweet Tea

I once kidded a friend who said he had to carry his mom to church. I asked him, don't your arms get tired? He replied, well how do you take your mom places ? I said, I drive her! He replied, Do you use a big stick?!!! LOL
