Significado
Tea with sugar or honey.
Contexto cultural
Tea is often seen as a remedy. If you are sick, a Hungarian mother will almost certainly make you 'édes tea' with lots of lemon. The 'menza' (canteen) tea is a cultural icon. It is a very sweet, lemon-flavored black tea served in schools and hospitals across the region. In traditional cafes, tea is served with a small tray containing sugar cubes and a slice of lemon, allowing you to make your own 'édes tea'. In villages, honey (méz) is often preferred over sugar, making 'mézes tea' the local version of 'édes tea'.
Ordering like a local
If you want it really sweet, say 'Kérek szépen egy jó édes teát' (I'd like a nice sweet tea).
Sugar default
In many small cafes, if you don't specify, the tea might come already sweetened. Always ask if you want it 'cukor nélkül' (without sugar).
