Iced sweet tea is a Southern staple that originated in the days before air conditioning. It offered coolness against the heat of the day, with sugar and caffeine as a pick me up. And Southern matrons could serve it in good conscience because it was nonalcoholic.

At least until Col. Pemberton’s drink came into being. Sugar and caffeine? Yep. And just a little kick besides.
