From merica, Pacific Northwest. My experience is hot you'll get some hot water in a kettle with a box of various teas, or iced which is non sweetened, can add sugar if ya want. If I just said "tea", they'd ask hot or iced. Id feel strange just saying "tea" without being more specific.
I thought kettles didn't work in america because your electricity is too weak?
That's not how it works.
Since the voltage is half and the amperage is the same half the wattage is supplied to heat water. This means it takes longer not that it doesn't work.
OP also said they received hot water in a kettle not that they received an electric kettle in which to heat it in.
If electricity works in the US, what is Texas bitching about when its cold?
Same thing they bitch about when it's hot 😂
