Biotop: try looking for Tejava in the bottled drink section. It’s quite good, and is unsweetened. You’ll probably need to hurry, though, before they bow to market pressure and dump a whole bunch of sugar in it.
I go for unsweetened iced tea. I can drink either, but I just can’t bring myself to dump 10 packets of sugar in a glass to reach the same level of sweetness as bottled iced tea. I drink my hot tea black (brown?) with no sugar as well, so maybe that has something to do with it.
Egads . . . if I want something sweet or with a bunch of sugar in it, I’ll drink some damned soda or Kool-Aid or something. Iced tea remains unsweetened, thank you very much, with maybe a lemon wedge in it; hot tea also does not get sugar, although it may sometimes get a couple of mint leaves while it steeps.
Frigging barbarians.
Tea should be drunk in its proper context.
Midafternoon (winter): Hot with cream and sugar
Midafternoon (summer): Cold and unsweetened with mint/lemon
At a Chinese Restaurant: Hot and unsweetened
Mornings: Black Coffee
After dinner: Coffee with cream and sugar.
Midnight-3AM: Coffee with rum or whiskey and cream.
Why drink it only one way?
We are talking Iced tes here…
What are you people talking about? You don’t drink tea (or coffee) for the flavor. You drink them because the human body can’t survive more than 7 or 8 hours without caffeine.
I have spent most of my life in North Carolina so I love Iced tea. I enjoy it sweet or unsweeted.
However, all fake tea should be banned!! When I say fake tea I am talking about any tea purchased in a bottle or made from a mix. I won’t go to any restaurant that serves it.
It isn’t that hard to make tea!!
(sorry, fake tea is a pet peeve of mine)
I’ll have to agree with David here. Tea is gross. Along with flavored/“sparkling” water. Ick. I’m a Mountain Dew kind of girl.
