Ice Tea - Sweet or Unsweet?

[menageriemama]

Unsweet all the way. I am also a yankee

Green tea with whatever herbs that need trimming. Our favs are lemongrass, basil, rosemary, sage, mints, etc.

Sweet, no lemon. If a restaurant only has un, then I'll get it and add Splenda. Hubby won't get iced tea at a restaurant if it's unsweetened. Sugar won't disolve in cold tea, unless you add tons, at which point it looks like you're drinking a snow globe.
We have a huge mint bed and we used to make mint syrup to add to our tea. Eventually I found myself putting less and less tea in the glass and drinking only the mint syrup. Hubby called me a hummingbird for a while. I had to give it up totally when I realized it was the cause of my added weight.

I admit it, I like the Luzianne liquid concentrate that we use at Lions Club functions when we have to make many, many multiple gallons at a time. As for the powdered stuff, GROSS!

Unsweet with a splash of lemon. I just got done brewing some sun tea. Yummy!

i prefer plain lipton, brewed in a giant old pickle jar on the back porch in the sun, sweetened with a bit of homemade simple syrup - i like my tea sweetened, but southern "sweet tea" is TOO sweet. i'm in the "north of the south" now, but i'm a california girl originally...

Unsweet, sometimes half and half if ordering from fast food places.

Always unsweet, be it green,black or anything else, can't stand drinking syrup

get out of the car and mix your MickeyD tea 1/2 sweet and 1/2 unsweet. Much better. It has to be about -10 before I switch to hot tea in the winter.
