Yank Homemade Southern Sweet Tea

I hope this doesn't get me thrown out of here...

Homemade Southern Sweet Tea is the house wine of the South.

Southern-style sweet tea is a strong infusion of black tea freshly
brewed - Lipton or Luzianne - that's sweetened with sugar while hot,
chilled until cold, and served over ice.

It's served in every restaurant - posh or cafe.

We are raised on it and it's offered the same way I used to think (from
movies) that you Brits offer hot tea - to celebrate, in a crisis, after
a hard day. It's served ice cold because it is hot as buttermilk
biscuits down here.

They say that it became a cultural staple because sugar was used as a
preservative in the old days and our palates grew to like the sweetness.

v - ah do declare, a tall glass would be so nice now, slices of lemon please
