Milk?
I was surprised to learn this little tidbit, and perhaps you will be, too. Since 1987, the official state beverage of North Carolina is milk. Over 143 million gallons of milk are consumed in the state every year. We are the the 20th ranked state in milk production, with 179 million gallons produced per year. We produce more milk than we drink.
I think the General Assembly has made an error here. Clearly, sweet iced tea should be the official state drink.
You are right! Iced tea should be the official southern drink. People do not take iced tea seriously.
Maybe we should have a carnival on How To Make Iced Tea? My sisters have a ritual with a ladle, strainer, pink lemonade and tea (must be Luzianne).
