x_losTHIS is why I drink sweet green tea! And you can all shut up, because SEEEEE?! It is so, so, the Done Thing. My historical-cultural antecedent is here:
"The oldest known recipe for sweet ice tea was published in 1879 in a community cookbook called Housekeeping in Old Virginia, by Marion Cabell Tyree. This recipe calls for green tea. In fact, most sweet tea drunk during this period was green tea. However, during World War II, the major sources of green tea were cut off from the United States, leaving them with tea almost exclusively from British-controlled India which produces black tea. Americans came out of the war drinking nearly 99 percent black tea."
Also, for your daily dose of Dolly Parton fabulousness:
"Sweet Tea is a staple beverage in the U.S. Southern states; most family-style and fast food restaurants in the region offer the customer a choice of sweet tea or unsweetened (sometimes referred to as "unsweet") iced tea. However, most Southerners prefer the sweet variant. Dolly Parton refers to sweet tea as the "table wine of the South.""
