Oh! I can not stand sweetened coffee or tea. I remember ordering iced tea
in Vancouver as a child because they had no diet soda. I was shocked to
find that it was sweetened. At home we only had plain tea. Not sweetened.

Then when we moved to MA, the first time I ordered coffee in a Dunkin'
Donuts, they asked me if I wanted "regular". I foolishly assumed that meant
"black". Nope! Meant cream and sugar. Just yick!

I do like lemon in my tea but it's fine without it too. But no sweeteners
ever.
