Iced Tea

[Raina]

How do you drink yours?

I have to have freshly brewed iced tea, and it has to be plain. No sugar, sweetener, or lemon.

Occasionally I'll have a flavored tea iced, like mint or chai, but I can't stand that nasty stuff out of the fountain. I also hate instant tea and the canned junk.

I know which restaurants in my area serve brewed iced tea, and I have them all rated according to tea-quality in my head.

Freshly brewed sweet tea.


Sweet tea not a little tea with my sugar.

 

[estevie]

No lemon, no sugar.

I can't stand instant tea. Blech!!!
I don't care for the flavored teas.

I did have a glass of water with a thin slice of cucumber in it recently at this great little cafe. It was absolutely refreshing! I'll be drinking it at home.

 

[Gilly Bean]

Iced Tea with Lemon or Raspberry added

 

[Gaucho]

I'll have a Long Island, thank you very much.

You had me until the part about cucumber....*shudder*

I fix a gallon with a cup of sugar.

Mmm yummers.

Ugh. Remind me not to drink tea at your house.

When I was visiting Kentucky, I had to remember not to order tea lest I get a big gulp of sweetened nastiness. *gag* There's nothing as awful expecting refreshing brewed iced tea and getting a mouth full of grainy sugar crystals.

 

[SINthysist]

Hot and green...

 

[estevie]

I was leary at first. But it was delicate a flavor. Really, it was very refreshing.

I think the key to it not being overbearing was the slice. It was so thin a slice, you could see thru it.

Oh that is the worst! Blech!!

My mom has gotten into a kick of putting sugar in her tea. She says she just needs some sweetness. Well, I took a big drink and about gagged!

I'm like you, I know exactly where to get good tea.
Wendy's has the best fast food tea. Its pretty good no matter where you go in the US.

 

[scrymettet]

iced with lemon and fresh mint leaves, no sugar

Agreed. Blech.

One of my friends makes that pre-sweetened, lemon flavored, instant stuff. I personally don't think they should be allowed to call it tea. I've forgotten that she likes it before and accepted a glass....nearly spewed it all over her carpet. Ugh.




Kitty, if I visit you, I'll make the tea mkay?

 

[morninggirl5]

ewww Raina!! No sugar?

Mmm yummers.

That's pretty much my ratio of tea to sugar, as well.


The teachers at my old school complained about my tea. They put 2 to 2 1/2 cups sugar in a gallon of tea.

 

[lobito]

No lemon for me, I'll take freshly squozen (?) lime juice in my tea, along with sugar. Sweet lime tea is great.

Drinking fresh iced tea as I type even.

 

[HeavyStick]

it's gonna be rum and coke soon

 

[Raina]

Drinking fresh iced tea as I type even.

Me too. No lime for me though. Now with my tequila....

 

[lobito]

the lime is great in iced tea. must be a Central American thing.

Right now, it's just straight up sugared tea though.

 

[k¡tty]

Agreed. Blech.

How do you drink yours?

Brew it, ice it, drink it. No sugar, maybe a different flavor, but basically straight tea for me.
