Do people drink tea in the USA?

Question

lots of people have mention iced tea and sweetened tea with lemon or whatever. Is drinking tea with milk a bit weird in the USA? I like tea without sugar and with milk.

Answer 1

My favorite is Chai Tea with milk, but I also drink other hot teas with milk....yummy. I am southern and I prefer hot tea with milk, even in the summer! Maybe I was British in another life!

Answer 2

I drink tea with cream or milk. Sometimes I use sugar and sometimes I don't. The very odd thing that I do that I have exactly gotten other people to do and they liked it, was to put cream or milk in iced tea as well as hot tea. The people were surprised at how good it really is.

Answer 3

In Georgia, when you order "tea", you get iced tea, or "sweet tea" as we call it. It is not unusual to have sweet tea with breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sweet tea usually comes with lemon, but I don't know anyone who drinks it that way at home. If your interested, the recipe for a gallon sweet tea is to boil 5 tea bags in about a half gallon of water, add to a pitcher with 2 cups of sugar, keep adding hot water to the tea bags to release more of the tea until you have a full gallon. Mix and put in the refrigerator until chilled. Serve with ice. In my own personal sweet tea experience, cold sweet tea over ice is always better than warm sweet tea over ice.

Answer 4

Of course we do. There are so many kinds in the stores. So for me it's hot tea (jasmine or lemon) in the morning, and iced tea (plain, no sugar, but a wedge of lemon) at any other time of the day.

Answer 5

yes people drink tea in the usa but depending where you are in the usa is how you going to get it in a restaurant. Example if you are in the northeast region you order tea it is going to be hot tea if you order iced tea its going to be unsweetened iced tea. but in the southeast its going to be iced tea sweetened you have to ask for hot tea and some places won't even have that. So yes we have tea in the usa

Answer 6

Haha...yeah we drink tea down south in New Orleans..but we drink ice tea with lemons n tons of sugar! we don't really drink hot tea cuz it's always so hot down here...but i suppose in the northen states they drink hot tea more often...and i guess herbal things are becomming more popular these days as people want to watch out for their health more...we also drink "ice" coffee....(in new orleans we say "ice" tea or coffee instead of "iced"...lol)

Answer 7

Yes we do drink tea in th USA, there is all kinds of tea with differant flavors. i drink tea everyday year around.I just tried a white tea with peach flavor was that ever good.

Answer 8

yes. We are a nation of coffee drinkers, and you can see that by looking at the coffee houses that we have, but if you look at what they are serving, its not just coffee, its tea. green tea, black tea, earl grey, jasmine- it depends on the person, yes, but a lot of us like tea either better or along with our coffee. I myself like a hot cuppa earl grey in the morning. You can also see by the shelves in the grocery store that it is popular as well-if it wasnt selling, it wouldnt be there.

Answer 9

No - it has never been sold there, and people in the U.S. have no perception of what it is. An attempt was made by the Tetley Group, in 1961, to trade with America, but three months after the deal was signed, the brother of Tetley's lead guy was found mysteriously throttled to death in his own flat.

After that, no-one has dared to go through with marketing of tea in the U.S.

Answer 10

Probably not more than coffee. I personally have never had coffee though and I'll drink any kind of tea I can get my hands on. Green, White, Black and any other kind. Most people that I know drink something cold with dinner or any other meal though...
