After 30 years in Austin, I was an ice tea fiend. I truly missed it when I would take a vacation. I became accustomed to the huge glasses and the unlimited refills. There was nothing better on a hot day.Tennessee ice tea drinking involves a choice. "I'll have an ice tea" is always followed with "sweet or unsweet?". The natives prefer the sweet version and restaurants pride themselves on the sweetness of their sweet tea. The unsweet tea is still my preferred choice since I'm a purist. giggle. The problem is that unsweet tea typically tastes old. Half the time, the waitress makes a mistake and delivers sweet tea to me. I think it's a conspiracy to convert me. I'm hanging strong - just like the tea that I prefer.
