Hi Jannah,

Here in the United States, coffee is likely the favored drink and lots of people like it really sweet.:razz:
Hi Daniel,
Interesting! You'll be surprised at the amount of sugar Egyptians put in their drinks. Some people put more than 5 tablespoons of sugar in 1 cup of coffee!
How many tablespoons of sugar do people in Sweden usually put in their coffee?

In sweden we like to "fika". We drink loads of coffee in all variations, from espresso to latte, and of course our "brygg" brewed coffee.
