That’s going to be regional. In the US iced tea is unsweetened. Sweet tea is the one with tons of sugar, or if you’re in the south they might just call it tea. In my travels in the US it’s pretty understood that “iced tea” is unsweetened.
Why are people downvoting you? Iced tea in Canada is sweet. Think things like Brisk or Nestea. If you order iced tea at a restaurant here, it’s coming out if the same machine as the pop (syrup+water) just not carbonated.
If you order an iced tea in Canada you are getting Nestea/Brisk like 95% of the time. Both are sweet teas, but are marketed and labelled as “Iced Tea”, not “Sweet Tea” - ask our American beverage overlords Coke/Pepsi why
If you are in a cafe, or some other place where the expectation is that they brew their own, then yes, it’s generally unsweetened - but it’s also usually explicitly labelled as such on the menu so you know whether you are getting brewed tea vs a glass of corn syrup
Iced tea usually has tons of sugar.

I mean if Nestlé Iced Tea is considered “unsweetened” as I’ve read down in the comment chain, then we don’t have sweet tea here at all lol
Unless you’re in the southern US, you probably don’t.
That’s sweet tea in northern America. Unsweetened is the default here.
It’s sweet tea in the United States.
In Canada “Iced Tea” means “sweet tea” most of the time

Really? I thought iced tea was unsweetened when I visited Canada, but I could be misremembering.

Because those aren’t sweet teas… At least not as sweet as actual sweet tea in the south.
I’m thought @[email protected] was being sarcastic, but lo and behold, people actually consider 33g of sugar per serving “unsweetened”
Brisk makes me so sad. I’ll just do a soda instead at that point. I’ll do unsweetened iced tea or sweet tea, but not that trash.
Tastes like it was designed by someone who had never had tea in their lives.
It has, like, a chemically burning aftertaste too. Or I’m allergic to something in it, I dunno.
Unsweetened for americans maybe
Alright that’s funny.
Doubly so if you have ever had southern sweet tea where you could probably put a stick in it and get rock candy back out.
I’ve definitely ordered one when I was down south, poured 2/3rds out, and topped it up with water, and it was still comparable to nestea
Ok? Like…it means no sugar. Just tea and ice. It’s my default drink. Pure leaf and gold peak make it. 0 calories. Don’t know what to tell you?
