In Kansas restaurants, can you get sweet tea?

7. This is the South's contribution to American culture

For if you try to add sugar to iced tea, you will never get enough to dissolve in the cold liquid to give it that unique Southern overly sweet flavor. Same with Coca-Cola. It was invented in the South, dissolving lots of sugar in warm water (with flavorings and carbonation) and then cooling it down with ice to drink it.

Some fancy restaurants out west have solved the age old problem of dissolving sugar in cold liquid by serving a small carafe of sugar syrup along with your (unsweetened) iced tea. Then you have no problem adjusting the sweetness exactly where you like it. And if you are a fan of authentic Southern sweet tea, you can say "waiter, two more carafes of sugar syrup, please.......aw, just bring me a glass of sugar syrup and a small carafe of tea".
