Answer 3

Iced tea is very popular here .... And, in the South, people drink alot of "sweet tea" (iced with simple syrup)...but we like straight, strong iced tea with no sugar.  I like lemon slices and a mint sprig, but my husband doesn't want anything in his:) ........Hot green tea has become very trendy lately,but I think it tastes like grass clippings:) .......COFFEE is the hot drink of choice here

Answer 4

tea will never be as popular as coffee in the US.  And it won't be as popular in the US compared to the UK, but I personally love tea.   so I guess I'm in the minority.
