13. Exactly -- good tea needs no sugar!

25. absofrigginlutely.

Having spent early life in the South with sweet tea, once I got a taste of unsweetened iced tea, I never went back. The lack of sweetness heightens the bouquet in the leaves.

32. Hell, yes

The unsweetened iced tea haters are nuts. There is just nothing better on a hot summer's day.

4. Abomination

[TZ]

6. Pointlessly sour.

I wonder--if you have a sweet tooth I think you like sweet tea..if you don't you like the sour unflavored type I think.

[deepthought42]

7. Is delicious!

Especially when it's freshly brewed...and strong. And it's refreshing! Sugar just dehydrates you... :P

[SPKrazy]

9. is best...

[Orsino]

10. I really dig saccharine tea. Love it.

Though real sweet tea is probably best of all.

[Inchworm]

11. Pwns sweet tea

:hi:

12. Add lemon

As a diabetic, I don't need the sugar and can't stand the taste of ANY artificial sweeteners. My brother just brought me a sack of lemons from his lemon tree-he had a bumper crop. They're sweeter than store bought but sourer than oranges. Delicious.

14. I've never understood how people can add sweetener or lemon

and never will.

15. Decaf apricot tea--delish!

I can't stand sweet tea, and I have a sweet tooth-go figure.

I switched to decaf when I started having horrible insomnia, now I'm afraid to go back . . . .

16. Tastes nasty either way, but it's worse with sweetner. Kind of like lipstick on a... well, u know.

[unsavedtrash]

17. Since I'm to avoid sugar now, unsweetened tea is fantastic.

But I DO miss my sweet tea.

[bigwillq]

18. Not a big fan of it (nt)

[Danger Mouse]

19. ...tastes a hell of a lot better than hyper sweet 'sugar water' tea. blech.

[Tom Kitten]

20. it's fine

nothing better than ice tea with lemon slices to quench your thirst on a hot summer day. Sugar makes you (well me at least) thirstier.

[moriah]

21. Iced tea with sugar added *after* it's cold is nasty beyond belief.

If you're going to make sweet tea, ADD THE SUGAR TO THE HOT TEA.

It mixes better and tastes soooo much better -- not so sickeningly sweet.

I would rather drink unsweetened tea than add sugar after, and the only way it mixes right with cold tea is if you use artificial sweeteners, which I hate as well.

22. Brewed by the glass, it's heaven!

My recipe for perfect tea:

One 20-oz cup of almost boiling water
Two teabags. Chai or a good black tea, I have a stock of Tazo at my desk.
Steep the tea for between four and eight minutes to taste
Add two packages of Splenda
Take a 20-oz cup of ice and pour the tea over it, going back and forth between the glasses until the tea is cold. It sounds great and makes your office-mates wonder what's going on.
Enjoy!

23. Is very good. What's the point of drinking tea if it doesn't taste like tea?

That's why I don't drink herbal tea (as a general rule). I like my tea to taste like tea. Good, strong-brewed black tea, either hot or iced. NO SUGAR.

[Left Is Write]

24. ...Is so good that I had to post twice.

:eyes:

[Critters2]

26. I'm not sure what you're referring to. I suspect it's what we around here simply call

"iced tea". You know, the way God intended.

[kentauros]

27. Unsweetened "iced tea"

is the only way to drink it iced

Unless you mean Thai Iced Tea, which is a different beast entirely ;)

[RushIsRot]

28. I can't abide sugar. I love artificially sweetened tea. I have for years.

[leeroysphitz]

29. It's my favorite too. n/t

[deoxyribonuclease]

30. I prefer hot tea

A big, steaming mug of oolong tea.

[last_texas_dem]

31. Better than black coffee

Well, actually quite a bit better than black coffee, which is pretty much an abomination, IMHO... But sweetened tea is far superior, even though I'm trying to be "good" these days and drink it with as little sugar as possible. It's a hard habit to break, though...

[old mark]

33. is what I drink all the time. Even worse, it's HERBAL

unsweetened ice tea, made from fruit flavored Celestial Seasonings tea.

With NO sugar.Or NOTHIN'!
