What does "So I have!" mean in this situation?
"So is occasionally followed by normal word order in short answers to express surprised agreement:
If you don't believe me, just look out of the window. It's snowing! ~ So it is!
You've given me tea and I asked for coffee! ~ So I have! I'm sorry."
What does"So I have!" mean? "I have given you tea too!"? Or "I have asked for coffee too!"?--------------------------------
(Ignore the following I'm just writing a memo for future reference)
If you don't believe me, just look out of the window. It's snowing! ~ So it is!
내말이 안 믿기면 창밖을 좀 봐. 눈이 내려!~정말그렇네!
You've given me tea and I asked for coffee! ~ So I have! I'm sorry."
넌 나한테 차를 줬는데 난 커피를 요청했지.~아 그랬네! 미안.

It means that the person is acknowledging their mistake.
'You've given me tea......' 'So I have!'
The person is saying ' You're right! So I have! Silly me!'

Just be aware that "So I have!" and "So have I!" have different meanings and functions. "So have I" has the meaning of "me too".

It means "Yeah, I have given you some tea, but I'm sorry that I didn't give the coffe."
So the "So I have"-part means "That's what I've done."

"So I have" means "I gave you tea even though I should have given you coffee"
