You get something resembling and tasting like syrup. Ugh. I always order unsweetened, and ask for sugar on the side - just one pack, please. And lemon. Gotta have lemon.

If you order Iced Tea up here, it's most likely to come sweetened. In the US, I've found it's usually unsweetened. Sugar and long spoon on the side.

I vastly prefer it unsweetened.

you can have "steamed tea" not "steam tea"

therefore, the correct answer is

iced tea.
