Good news, everybody! I finally escaped O’Hare and made it home.
Before leaving the Argo in the terminal, I picked up another tea to sample. Iced black tea with honey and lemon sounded great, so I went with a Carolina Honey Tea. This stuff was CRAZY sweet. Growing up in the South, I can drink my fair share of the sugar water they like to call tea. This tasted like it was Southern sugar water/tea to which they had added heavy amount of honey and a dash of something that was supposed to be lemon-flavored. Not good at all. The only redeeming quality was that the honey they use was really tasty. If they would have just sweetened the tea with only the honey, it would have been a much better experience.
I got to enjoy my birthday dinner at Frontera, so being stuck in O’Hare wasn’t a complete disaster, even if the teas were a bit of a bust.

so happy to hear a southern tea fan acknowledge its pseudo-tea status. lol. My husband grew up in Florida and loves that ‘sugar water.’ I’ve always poked fun at him for drinking sugar water (yes, I call it that!). My sister’s boyfriend, from elsewhere in the south, also loves that stuff and he insists that it is the only ‘real’ tea in existence. sigh… southerners :p
I also grew up in Florida. Most of my friends would go crazy for Publix sweet tea which lists the ingredients as: water, sugar, tea. It really is just sugar water!
