I think they've started calling it sweet tea now. My sister-in-law is, or was, 
a master. First she concocted the syrup, which required inordinate amounts of 
sugar. Then she brewed the tea and added syrup while tea piping hot. Then to 
the refrigerator. Served in a glass full of ice cubes. If done properly, will 
cause an immediate dental emergency. I can't believe how much I used to love 
that stuff, or how much of it I drank. Phew! Now, despite Andrew's assertions 
to the contrary, I prefer my tea hot, with no sugar and a dollop of milk or 
cream. Of course I don't have cakes or biscuits, and it's not a centuries old 
cultural tradition, but I still enjoy a good cup of tea, and availed myself of 
it while in the UK, when I wasn't drinking beer. (Most of the B&Bs we used did 
not serve beer for breakfast. One, I suspect, would have if I'd asked.)
