From Georgia Public Broadcasting:
Sweet tea has been a staple on Southern menus for more than a hundred years. It’s a simple beverage and these days you can find it just about everywhere in Texas. But there was a time when sweet tea was rare in some parts of the country.
Freelance reporter Tove Danovich of Portland, Oregon gives a sweet tea history lesson. Listen to her conversation with Sean Powers, and read a history of the drink at Georgia Public Broadcasting.
