Which ends by mentioning an AhS I raised on-list in the past.

Despite the chevrah's best efforts, I am not convinced that RYME lumped
together teih and teih matoq. I think sugar was so hard to come by, sweet
tea was considered more than just water. While tea wasn't.

In this particular din, he notes the MB requires drinking tea through
the sugar (yes, volumes 1 & 3 of the MB predate the AhS OC, the last
Tur of AhS to be written). But he disagrees because he feels it is
a question of what is filling, not what has chashivus.

Tir'u baTov!
