In what was then Yugoslavia, hot tea came presweetened. It was way too
sweet for my taste.

Carol, your postscript indicated you like Arizona brand sweet tea. While I
like its taste, too, I find it's TOO sweet for my taste, so when I have it
at home, I'll pour it into a container and dilute it a bit to make it more
palatable.
Dan, I don't put five spoonfuls of sugar in my tea, though I will use two
tablespoons when I make a pot of tea in my coffeemaker (don't laugh - it
works. I figured it out when I worked in train service, and could make tea
in my hotel room. Ask for details if you're interested.)
