How do you like your iced tea?

Other. i had to switch from coffee for my arthritis, so I now drink hot tea, I love lemons, but the meds dont like citrus and I am fond of my lliver! Mint is my favorite, with a half teaspoon sugar, but there are other flavors I like such as the orange spice, and the vanilla chai, ice tea just doesnt work the same way either...

Sun tea steeped with fresh mint of some type is my favorite.

For me, its sweet iced tea during the day, at night hot chamomile tea left plain

Other=unsweet tea w/lemon

With lemon, if it's sweet tea. My favorite is plain unsweetened, which hubby calls "yankee", or Northern tea! lol…That's what I get for marrying a Southerner!
Really enjoy adding pineapple sage to it …Nice fruitiness!

1/2 unsweet tea and 1/2 lemonade! It's so good!

I 'love' sweet iced tea, but I also like hot tea with a spot of cream.

I will drink almost any type of tea as long as it isn't too strong. I had to cut out almost all sugar so I like a tea with mint or lemon or orange. Not picky at all.

Sweet tea!!! I can drink it plain but rather not. lol.

I enjoy them all , voted herbal , fresh mint though ,, I drink nettle tea all the time . Pick it myself from the weed bed ... good stuff , !!!

OH and nettle and peppermint together are twice as nice , bitter herb tea that is not so bitter !!! lol

has to be 'regular' tea... not that fruity stuff and NOT instant (hate that stuff!)

I love unsweetened brewed iced tea! I drink it 365 days of the year! Morning to night. Nothing added to it except ice cubes.

Ever tried Decaf Tea. It is wonderful. None of the bitterness but all the tea flavor. I went defac for a few yrs. many yrs ago and started drinking it. Family got reg tea. One day they ran out and drank mine and said it was better. They all wanted the decaf after that. Not sure how it would be for hot tea. Not much of a hot tea drink.

Sweet Iced Tea for me please.

Instant with lemon for spice tea mix in winter when have bad cold

Peppermint tea, sweetened or unsweetened, and rooibos...

Forgot to add - hot or cold.

Rooibos is very good. :)

I only drink green or white tea with a drop of stevia

Heavily or lightly sweetened, I love tea hot or cold, green or black. Lemon is good, especially when I have a cold -- lemon and honey please, but in the summer, a nice way to get a lemony taste without adding actual lemon (this tip is for you, Kittriana!): a sprig of Lemongrass! It adds a lovely lemony taste without the actual citrus in it. Check with your Dr. first to make sure that it would be safe for you!!
I keep decaf teabags on hand too, for the evening. Gotta get my 42 hours' beauty sleep! ;)

In a restaurant, I'm pretty sure to order Arnold Palmer. At home, I brew it with ginger and black pepper. Lemon and sugar don't show up until the hot tea of wintertime, when my lemon tree is in bearing.

Decaf sun tea, unsweet as I'm diabetic, usually with mint from the garden or some lemon or orange slices while it brews. Sometimes mint and lemon when I want to live on the edge.

sweet tea (brown sugar)....

No tea for me, iced or otherwise. I do enjoy an icey cold bottled Budweiser after working in the garden, nothing beats that first swig! Ahhh.

I just like plain old water. No staining and no calories. However, maybe I should try to like tea because it's supposed to have many health benefits.

I drink my ice tea (brewed only; no instant for me!) with Splenda. I would rather drink it without any sweetener than with sugar.

I came down on the side of herbal. I like it cold in summer, hot in cooler weather.

For a sweetener, I prefer locally harvested honey which seems to help allergies also.

My two youngest granddaughters just discovered peppermint tea for breakfast. Depending on their mood, hot or iced.

And my sweet young daughter (their Mom) gifted me with this tea mug/brewer. I love it and use it daily.

Oooh that's nice, Pod!!

Our son is really "into" tea, however he really likes traditional Japanese tea, with all the ceremony to go along with it, so one year for Christmas DH and I got him a really nice cast iron tea set at Teavana with loads of teas to go with it. He's hooked!

I like herbal infusions, mint, lemon, OR _lime_ in my black tea, with just a little sweetening. Sweet tea is something I will drink on occasion if I need a sugar rush!

I like most herbal teas, just not chamomile - something about the smell is just nauseating!

I like cake and other sweets as much as anyone, but cake with something like coffee or tea - a little on the bitter side - for contrast and palate cleansing.

Seriously, sweet food and drink will not cut the bad taste of asthma and allergy medicine inhalers, but astringent food and drink will. Think bitters - your taste buds and your waistline will thank you.

Very good "food" for thought, thank you Heather!

Freshly brewed decaf tea with just the slightest bit of Splenda to cut the bitterness. Seems to please just about everyone except those with a terrible sweet tooth (hubby) and he is welcome to add in whatever disgusting sweetener appeals to his taste.

Don't drink a lot of iced tea. I actually read somewhere somewhere recently that it was bad for you! Will have to find that again.

When I do drink iced tea, I have become fond of green tea with honey.

Otherwise my preference would be a (hot) mint tea with just a bit of sugar to make the flavor pop.

I voted other because I don't care for iced tea. I prefer hot tea. When I gave up sugar in 2005, I also gave up drinking tea.

How do you like your iced tea?

In someone else's cup.

My favorite is sun tea made with 2 tea bags of a plain orange pekoe (like Lipton or Luzianne) and one tea bag of Constant Comment Green Tea. Love the hint of orange and cinnamon, without being overwhelming, and the green tea adds a certain fresh taste to it. Every time we serve this to friends or family, they comment on how wonderful it is, and ask what kind of tea it is! Constant Comment Green Tea is getting hard to find, though. I buy 5-6 boxes every time I stumble upon it.

booker, amazon has it...and a lot cheaper than the stores.
CC has always been my favorite tea and still is.

I never thought to look for a grocery product on Amazon. Thanks!

If you have a citrus tree, adding a leaf to the tea you are brewing can give it an enticing flavor. Since the oils, especially of Seville orange or lime, are solar accelerants, however, either drink it late in the afternoon, or apply sunscreen to your mouth and lips right after.

I brew Lipton decaf tea at home, drink the Lipton Pure Leaf brand bottles and drink brewed ice tea in restaurants.

amazon is loaded with grocery products! i do half my shopping there.

If I were completely honest, I would say home brewed, cane sugar sweet tea. Alas, I am a good girl most of the time and drink sun-brewed unsweetened iced tea.
