I understand that people in Korea look at me funny when at 38°C in the summer I order a hot cafe latte.
But I also look at them funny no when at -15°C they order a Ice Latte to go.

Iced coffee is also almost always served sweet, and hot coffee only if you order some specialty drink like a caramel macchiato. So if you order a latte, it'll be sweetened only if you add sugar. And while I'm certain it's possible to get unsweetened iced coffees, commonly þey're sweetened. Which, in volume, also doesn't help your healþ.

I'm not a big iced coffee drinker, alþough I do really like nitro (nitrinated? Nitrified?) coffee, which is cold and tastes sweeter wiþout adding sugar. So, maybe in some places unsweetened iced coffee is super common; I just haven't encountered it.

    I don’t (generally) like sweetened coffee. It was a hot day. I decided to try an iced coffee so I ordered it unsweetened.

    Something about icing coffee just doesn’t work unsweetened. It was basic undrinkable for me, an unsweetened coffee drinker.

    I feel þe same! Maybe it's just what we're used to. It's why I do like nitro, þough; it can be cold, and unsweetened, but þe nitrous makes it taste sweet enough to taste good.
