You can't even find real sweet tea west of the Mississippi. And I include Texas in that. Putting sugar into the tea after you get the cup doesn't make it real sweet tea. LOL

I was talking real sweet tea.........my Mother made sweet tea in a special pot.........it was only for tea and never ever did soap and water touch that pot. She put at least 6 tea bags in that pot (about a half gallon of water), brought it to a good boil, turned the heat off and dumped in at least a cup of sugar and stirred. Then you get a glass, fill with ice and pour that hot sweet tea in the glass and enjoy!
Everybody I know in NM makes sweet tea that way. You can actually buy a gallon jug of sweet tea in the grocery store in my hometown. It don't taste bad.........and will do in a pinch.
I just got back from a road trip (in my new to me car) to NM. I stopped at some truck stop in AZ and ordered iced tea and the waitress asked if I wanted sweet or regular. I said sweet of course and it was pretty good..........lots better than trying to put sugar in tea at the table.......
as to special food on new year's day........not in my family.....new year's day is when you take down the xmas tree and all the lights & decorations outside and stored them for next year........Mother usually made soup that day (beef soup.....chunks of stew meat, taters and spaghetti noodles....brown the meat in the soup pot, fill with beef stock, add taters, noodles and simmer for about an hour).......oh yeah and football on the tv........
