RE: What is Sweet Tea?
Hello Langley
This is one of those cultural references a UK audience probably takes so much for granted it doesn't occur to us that there might be any other interpretation! 'Sweet tea' is just a description of leaf tea with several spoonfuls of sugar added (it helps the medicine go down, etc!). It's sort of a running cultural joke that the English think every crisis can be resolved with a cup of tea - usually referred to as "a nice cup of tea". Ruth is a bit self-conscious about her innate English-ness. |
