Signification
Tea with sugar or honey added.
Contexte culturel
Tea is often served with a side of honey and a slice of lemon, allowing the drinker to make it 'îndulcit' to their own taste. In the Republic of Moldova, 'ceai dulce' is a very common regionalism for 'ceai îndulcit'. Throughout the Balkans, tea is frequently herbal (mint, linden, rosehip) and almost always served sweetened to balance the earthy flavors. In specialty tea houses in Bucharest, you might be asked specifically 'cu ce' (with what) you want it sweetened, implying a choice between various syrups or honeys.

Honey vs Sugar
In Romania, if you ask for 'ceai îndulcit', clarify if you want 'miere' (honey) or 'zahăr' (sugar), as both are common.
