And down here, "tea" means "sweet tea" which means iced tea that had sugar added to it when it was still hot so that the sugar is dissolved into solution, and is sweeter than you can get iced tea to be by adding sugar to cold tea. So your options are:Down here, if you want a cup of tea, you order "hot tea."
"Tea" means iced.
"tea" = iced tea supersaturated with sugar, with sliced lemons on the rim or in it
"unsweet tea" = iced tea, same lemon garnish
"hot tea" = they bring you a pot of hot water, a cup, and a couple of Lipton tea bag, and look at you funny.
at least at the fancy joints I frequent.
