have you tried the Snapple Asian Pear Ice Tea? it is really really good
I shall have one today with lunch
and tonight at home, I shall make an entire pitcher of my own favorite concoction, which generally involves at least 3 different types of teas to produce the finished product
No sir, when it comes to iced tea, I'm a Lipton Girl, through and through. I prefer home brew, but have had the Lipton in a glass before (hates the canned, I does--same with the soda-fountain style). That said, the Lipton in the glass that they call "Southern Style" is a bit too sweet for my taste.
(Although a Long Island, done RIGHT and not from a mix, is a favorite as well.)
Lipton is my base tea for my home pitcher mix ... then I add a few bags of other flavored teas to round things out ... a couple of black teas, a couple green and at least 1 mint or other flavor ... the end product is wonderful, no sugar required or used
Every day is ice tea day since I (mostly) swore off the sodas. *Very* watered down ice tea, since I prefer it that way anyway, even if I'll drink it "normal" as well. (something like maybe 4 - 4 1/2 bags per pitcher) Red Rose if I can get it.
I'm OK with it "normal", too... but I need more sugar if it's stronger. When it's weak I use from nothing to *maybe* just over 2 tsp for 2 cups. Regular? Sometimes up to 5 tsp for the same amount... depends on how it came out (some are more bitter than others).
Figure there's less caffeine when it's watered down as well... not such a bad thing, since I haven't felt like drinking water as much lately - more like one container of water for every two tea... rather than water with an occasional tea.
