Like many Polish people, I am a big tea drinker. Nothing fancy--Lipton is just fine. Though unlike many Polish people, I like my tea with milk.
In the Northeast region where I live, when you order tea at a restaurant, you get hot water with a tea bag. In order to get the cold stuff, you need to specify "iced tea."
In the New Orleans Starbucks, when I ordered tea, they gave me tea with ice.
"I don't want this," I said.
"Oh did you want hot tea?"
In New Orleans, iced tea is the norm, so when you order tea, that's what you get.
You need to specify "hot tea." I got a kick out of that. Hot tea. I never heard anyone say that before in my life.
