At the risk of bringing down on my head the wrath of all the Brits and related types, I have to confess that my favorite is that quintessentially American quaff, iced tea. I drink it unsweetened with lemon juice, in spite of being on the edge of the South, where iced tea is always dead sweet. Of course, decent iced tea is made fresh daily from tea, bags or loose, not from some unmentionable powder or concentrate. Now and then, for a change, I add mint leaves to the tea when brewing it and drink that sweetened, no lemon.
