LOL, well, yeah.
Everytime I go to NYC or someplace up thataways, the restaurants only
serve unsweetened tea. In fact, some only serve iced tea in the summer,
can you believe that!? There is a common misconception that one can add
sugar to cold iced tea and turn it in to "sweetea" but you can not. It
just isn't nor will it ever be "sweetea". <sigh>
