When I'm out, and i'm thirsty, ice tea is my first thought.
I'd say, 3-4 bottles a week maybe? I don't really keep track, haha.

^it's my first thought too

Pretty much at least a bottle a day... I love the stuff.

VERY bad at making my own, though. It rarely ends well.

I drink ice tea A LOT, probably close to a half gallon/gallon a day. I don't like it sweetened though, just the tea and I have to brew it myself. Funny enough, I live in the south were "sweet tea" is perpetually offered when going out. I'd rather not have to use a spoon to consume my tea, thank you very much.

once in a blue moon (which is now) two to three cups a day
the powder one... the brewed one... a bottle every few months... when ever i can get my hands on it.
hot tea... cup a day... but its summer... too hot for hot tea.

I like it, and I am just starting to get back into drinking it again. Now do you make yours fresh jc?

yeah i have two big glass pitchers, and i make a whole batch every two or three days. i don't think any other kind tastes very good, so i don't mess with that bottled stuff. plus i don't wanna have to pay for all, cause that stuff gets expensive quick.
DoubleJ
It does indeed. Now what brand do you use? I like to use Lipton when it comes to it, but I am starting to like how green tea tastes cold as well.

Before I forget...No Homo on the recipe making tips!

My mom makes the best tea. She mixes Luzianne Sweet Tea bags with Luzianne Green Tea bags. It's sweet and bitter at the same time. And of course it's over lots of ice. Southerners don't drink it hot. tongue.gif Mmm.../wants some/ I drink the whole batch in like, 2 days.

I don't drink iced tea, but sometimes I drink warm tea. I have a bad habit of forgetting that we have it in our house. (That and my brothers are pigs and usually eat everything I buy.)

Ice tea is the best. I only drink water these days, but the only other thing I'd drink is ice tea. happy.gif

I always drink iced tea (unsweetened). I haven't touched any pop in months
ReggieM

Depends. I can't stand store bought tea. But home made is the greatest crap on Earth.
AyeVickaye

imo, that's the nastiest drink ever created. lol. my tea NEEDS to be sweetened [:
smash
the only unsweetened tea i drink is peppermint tea. i love iced tea. i had some not too long ago but not the homemade kind. i miss my mom's iced tea. she used to put it in a glass jar, sit it on the porch, and it would steep in the sun for hours. so good.
manny-the-dino
I loooooove iced tea. I like the lemon kind (I forget the brand) and the raspberry kind. The one they sell at Costco in the food court.
smash
lipton?
manny-the-dino
Yeah, I think so.

not really. it doesn't even have that much sugar in it...less than probably every other drink besides plain water. i make my own tea though, so maybe your's has a ton of sugar in it.

there are iced teas that are unsweetened as well as green teas with a heck of a lot of sugar.

of course if you brew your own tea, like jc said, you could control how much sugar goes in. i personally like my lemon iced tea with no sugar and my green tea with a spoonful of sugar ;o
datass
i get some lipton tea bags, brew some hot tea and cool it in the fridge. i guess it isnt really 'iced tea' but that's what i'll drink.

and not sure if anybody has heard of this before, but popcorn tea is really good too. also known as genmaicha (玄米茶) lol. it tastes a bit like green tea. i drink that cold too.

i never really liked the packaged ones with lots of sweeteners. i like them just tea flavored.
queen
^ i drink genmaicha sometimes. it has an interesting aftertaste. for now though i've been addicted to blooming flower green teas.
brooklyneast05
people who don't make their own tea and buy it bottled...gag. i don't know what's wrong with them. what a waste of money for stuff that almost never even tastes like tea. making it yourself couldn't get much easier.

i'm lipton loyal myself



i had possibly the nastiest iced tea of my life last week. i ordered it at a restaurant and all they had was "mango infused" so i just got that anyway. it was sick. it tasted like someone had poured cough syrup into my glass. i have no clue how they got it to taste as nasty as it did. that mango must have been really f*cked up because it had a sick thick bitter medicine taste to it.
datass
^oh. i hate those flavors that end up tasting like cough medicine. seriously.

about the good drinks, last time i was out i ordered a drink, light black tea with peach and a little bit tangerine juice. turns out to be very very good.

Nothing seems as refreshing to me as a nice glass of ice tea. I drink about a gallon a day. I make my own and usually put fresh rasberries or orange slices in it. The fruit sweetness the tea so i hardly add any sugar.
