Peach? Raspberry?

Tell me you don't mean tea, as in boiled water poured over tea leaves type tea.

I have heard of green tea, and lemon tea, and peppermint tea, but I've never heard of peach or raspberry tea.

And you think you live a sheltered life Janie......

I used to drink sweet tea. In my neck of the woods sweet tea is boiled and then added to a pitcher with sugar and chilled. I would drink sweet tea over ice. My preferred choice of tea was Liptons or Walmart brand, pretty close.

Now I drink Crystal Light green tea with raspberry to watch my weight. Lost ten pounds just going from sweet tea to Crystal Light!

peach??? raspberry????
in TEA??????????

can you tell my British roots are showing lol

I have my tea like the Koala does, boiled water over tea leaves in a nice teapot with a china cup to drink from

when I make iced tea I brew it the same way as hot tea and then chill in the fridge

I dont usually sweeten mine, but if I did it would be only with a spoon of pure sugar or honey. I do enjoy black tea with honey and lemon juice too



ps yes I cheat with teabags sometimes instead of leaves

I make Sun Tea. You put the bags of Lipton tea (about 4 regular tea bags) in cold water in a large glass container and set it out in the hot sun for 3-4 hours. Remove the tea bags and then you put it in the refrigerator to cool. I usually add just a little sugar to the glass when I drink it and maybe a squirt of lemon juice.

I do not like it black and strong. It has to be a nice color and not strong.

Yup, I know what you are saying about boiling the water and making it that way. But you know what, that sounds like your tea is strong. I do not like it strong.

I like Sun Tea as we think it's better. And I never add sugar to it before I put it in the fridge. I don't because everyone likes theirs a little sweeter or not so sweet or maybe they do not want any sugar at all. I also think it keeps better without having sugar in it. Well, that's if you don't drink it up within a day or so

The first time I ever had or even heard of Sun Tea was when I visited friends in TX. It was sooooo strong and black and I hated it Then some friends in another state, also made their Sun Tea black and strong. Hated that too. Soooooo-

At any rate, it's however you like your tea. Enjoy

What would be a less expensive swap out to Crystal light?
I love sweet tea but want to watch the calories. Stopping at mickey D's for the $1 one quenched my thirst and lasted my Sunday shift 1/2 day.

I make sun tea, with the tea bags and solar, but while I enjoy it iced, I did get spoiled by sweet tea.

I do use sweeteners........but how would it be fruit taste added? Would real lemon make a lemon tea? Any others?
