Sweet tea certainly can be characterized as a southern delicacy. One of the reasons why the southerness of this drink has been so strongly and clearly established is the way in which southern people place such importance on their traditions. Once sweet tea grew in popularity towards the end of the 19th century, it was quickly established as a southern tradition.

I haven’t been able to come across a definitive answer to why Sweet Tea is so popular in the South while not so in other parts of the country but below is a list of reasons I think Sweet Tea rules the South…

1) Iced Tea became popular in Southern Cookbooks into the 1900's and even more so during the time of Prohibition as the average person couldn't just walk into a speakeasy and order alcohol. Many who would normally drink alcoholic beverages were now looking for other beverages to switch to. Seeing as the South is much hotter than the North throughout the year iced tea should come as no surprise. Tea was a drink that many in the temperance movement gravitated towards and has actually been used throughout history by those attempting to transition their way off of alcohol.

2) Black Tea became a cheaper commodity during the years leading into the 1900's as India began to outproduce China in overall tea production. By World War 2 any access American's had to green tea (grown mostly in Japan/China) was effectively cut off leaving 99% of the tea consumed stateside to black tea. Couple cheap ice with cheap tea and sugar and you have the makings of an easy to brew drink that you could mass produce for pennies. We like to do stuff on the cheap in the South!

3) When you think of the South you think of a people that love tradition. It is a badge of honor to say you're from "The South." We love our food, we love our football, we love using the word y'all, we love our Sweet Tea.. I could go on forever but the point is when we find something worth liking we turn it into a tradition and pass it to our children and their children.

It’s time for our weekly #preppygrandhome interior feature, and this week we are highlighting Lance of @parkerkennedyliving 👏 Gracious Panache. That’s what comes to mind when describing Lance’s incredibly styled Commerce, GA home! It’s a historic Mediterranean style house which he and partner David have been lovingly restoring for about 6 years now. And a medley of beautiful furnishings and details give this 6k square feet abode the look and feel of a Southern “Regency” style interior: refined and honors the past, while keeping pace and the needs of a modern family. Who Do They Share The House With? Baby dog Sam, and Lance’s son Thomas (who is currently at college) What/Where Do You Find Inspo? 'Everywhere! I love old interior books, especially from the '70s & '80s' What Do You Collect and Why? ‘Where do I start? I collect beautiful things that make me happy: design/history/architectural/art books, antique rose medallion, vintage Christmas ornaments/Italian ceramics/Fitz & Floyd dinnerware, and Chinoiserie!’ Fave Room? “I love our garden room off of the library” Best Bargain? ‘I have so many, but what got me started on “the thrill of the hunt” was my $10 circa 1860s antique bronze sculpture’ Fave Designer Past or Present? Past: Mario Buatta for his mastery of the collected look, mixing and matching antiques/vintage with modern furnishing Present: Mary McDonald for her tailored interiors Design Tip To Impart with decor lovers? ‘Don’t use matching set of dishes when setting a dining table’ Inspirational, is he not? If you haven’t already, go check out and follow his page!

45 Southern Phrases Explained:

1. Access road: Service road; the road that allows you entrance to the highway.

2. (A) mind to: To consider doing something.

3. Aren’t you precious? : Most always said sarcastically in response to someone being offensive (i.e., if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say it at all).

4. Being ugly: This has nothing do with physical appearance — instead it means misbehaving.

5. Barking up the wrong tree: Being mistaken or misguided.

6. Be able to see to Christmas: Something Grandma would say when she thinks your skirt is too short — you can see clear to the top of the Christmas tree!

7. Bless your heart: A seemingly empathetic phrase usually uttered when the speaker believes the recipient to be sweet but misguided or when they believe the recipient needs to grow up and deal with it.

8. Britches: Pants or underpants.

9. Cattywampus: Sideways or crooked.

10. Catty-corner: Diagonal to something, like catty-corner buildings on a street.

11. Citified: Urban, sophisticated and not country in any way.

12. Clicker: Remote control.

13. Coke: We may mean Coca-Cola, but we may mean any other carbonated beverage. If you order a Coke in a restaurant, do not be alarmed if they ask you what kind.

14. Commode: Toilet.

15. Doesn't have a pot to piss in: Really, Really broke.

16. Dressing: No, not the stuff you put on salads. This is the stuffing that goes in or alongside a turkey.

22. Good ol' boy: A male who tends to enjoy challenging situations; tends to be rambunctious and often enjoys hunting, mudding and fishing.

23. Hissy: Shorthand for a hissy fit — a grown-up tantrum as bad as a toddler would throw.

34. Hold your horses: Be patient.

25. Holler: To let someone know something. Example: Holler at me when you’ve put the kids to bed, and we can grab a drink.

26. Idjit: Idiot.

27. If the creek don’t rise: If nothing bad happens, then everything will go as planned.

28. Muddin': A pastime involving driving a four-wheel-drive vehicle in the mud with the goal of nearly losing control.

29. Nervous as a long-tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs: Nervous to the point of being jumpy; constantly on the lookout.

30. Off like a herd of turtles: Not off to a great or speedy start.

31. Tennis shoes: Athletic shoes of any kind, not just the kind you use to play tennis

32. Pitcher: Not a pitcher on a baseball team, but a plastic container to hold tea or lemonade.
