Ice Tea
#22
My DH went with a church group to Vermont about 3 years ago. Beautiful area, but no sweet tea. At each place they ate and asked for it, they were given iced tea and some sugar packets. Gross! He said they even tried to explain to some waitresses how to make it and they seemed intriqued by the concept. The first thing he wanted after getting home was a nice tall glass of sweet iced tea! Lol
Both DD's went to NYC 2 years ago and couldn't find any either. At least everyone was ready to come home soon, if only for the sweet tea! Lol

Several years ago I went to Rhode Island on a business trip. The restaurants in the town where I was did not serve Iced tea, it was out of season (I was there in Nov.). I solved the problem by ordering hot tea & a glass of ice. Any true southern girl knows how to make good Ice tea.

My first encounter with sweet tea was in Costa Rica about 10 yrs ago. I ordered iced tea and when I tasted it I knew it was sweetened. Being diabetic I had to order No Sugar but I sure did love the taste of sweet tea.

I'm with Kuntryquilter. I was traveling in the southeast one summer and couldn't get iced tea. I like it brewed and UNsweetened. DIY in the restaurants worked fine, everybody in the places I did it thought I was crazy. But if you are not used to it, sweet tea is cloying. And I sure don't need the calories. McDonalds introduced sweettea in northern California just a few years ago, and I understand that it now outsells the regular kind even here. So now I have to ask for 'regular'.
