In case ya don’t know, the South is HOT! I mean, like 90 degrees and humid for a good 8 months of the year. So it is only logical that a cold beverage would be the beverage of choice in a hot humid climate, right? Who wants a cup of hot cocoa in the summertime? Tea happens to taste good, is economical and better at quenching thirst than soda. As far as why it is liked so sweet, well, sugarcane was primarily grown in the South and so readily available. I can only assume that the supersweetness of it became an acquired taste over time. And no self-respecting Southerner would drink instant tea. That is reserved for the visitng Yankees.
