It's just called tea, hotness is the default so if you want some other deviant poo poo then you need to specify but tea is just tea.

You know why Captain Picard always specifies his tea should be hot from the replicators? Because he's loving French so he doesn't understand it's the default.

Replicator was built by space Americans so he's just being careful it doesn't give him a teabag in a bowl of tepid water or something.

Am American, can confirm that sweet tea is a bane on our planet. Everywhere I go, I gotta specify not sweetened or I get a cup of tea flavored syrup.

Neither tea nor coffee has any business being served at a temperature any less than could be described as "tongue-blistering."

That's acceptable. Cinnamon and nutmeg are awesome flavors and go very well with coffee. It's the generic and artificial-tasting "pumpkin spice" flavor that I think tastes vile.

I know. but sub-boiling doesn't mean not tongue-blistering, though. It's still 160º-180º F depending on the tea.

Your tongue is a pussy. 160F is the temperature of a piece of cooked chicken.

I was in my 20s I lived in a college group house with a bunch of other kids and a 50 something-year-old Indian dude. He had responded to a "roommate wanted" ad and we figured he would be reliable rent-payer. In any case, he must've been some from some magical part of India without humidity, all he did when he got home from his teaching job was sit around in his underwear and complain about how muggy it was. We turned him on to sweet tea and he made that poo poo with enough sugar to make a southern grandma blush.

Yes, I can and do. But the key is that it's served hot. I'm not complaining about the heat, I'm advocating for it!

The trick with sweet tea is that it's different from normal iced tea + sugar. Instead of just dumping all the sugar into it right before drinking, they make it by adding the sugar when the water is at a full boil. This to raises the absorption point of the water, and lets it hold more sugar without recrystallization later after it cools. The reason they make it like this is because normal iced tea used to be only for rich plantation owners, being served over ice in a period before refrigeration. Sweet tea was therefore even more exorbitant, as you were putting in as much sugar, another valuable commodity, as you possibly could.

I want this to be a movie so much. But from the 50-something guy's perspective.
