About Southern Sweet Tea... a Tradition in the South
Most restaurants in the South, including fast-food and other national chains, offer a customer the choice of sweet tea or unsweetened iced tea (usually referred to as "tea" and "unsweet tea", respectively.) It is a signature drink of the region to the point that the Southern use of the word "tea" is largely used to refer specifically to cold sweet tea and not to hot or unsweetened varieties.
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, who was born in Texas. The recipe called for green tea. In fact, most sweet tea consumed 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 produced black tea. Americans came out of the war drinking predominantly black tea.
