OK, so I don't mean that I am drinking a gallon a day or something..but my day does not seem complete unless I have at least one or two servings of ice tea. I don't drink it every day in the winter but come warm weather I am all about the tea. I wasn't going to drink it tonight, because it is getting a bit late..but I was craving it terribly so I gave in! I suppose there are worse things to be addicted to! I was talking to a doctor one time about drinking ice tea and he said when his dad quit drinking..he starting carrying a thermos of ice tea everywhere and drinking it. He said he probably was drinking a half gallon a day at least!

Iced tea is very refreshing on hot days. I enjoy a slice of lemon with mine. Do you make your own?

Sometimes, but not always. I usually make it with a powder..I bought a gallon of lemon at the store last time as it was inexpensive, and tastes delicous of course. When I see it in the store surrounded by ice..I immediately start craving it, especially if I am thirsty.

Iced tea is not unhealthy. I like coffee a lot, but I drink less when I´m all alone.

I drink more coffee or hot tea when the weather is cold outside.

Well too much of anything is probably bad for you. It contains caffeine and can also affect kidneys in large enough quantities..but as I said I don't drink that much no more than 24 oz per day.

I love tea... I drink Hot Tea.. at least 1 to 2 cups at work (5 days a week) and I love iced tea also. I drink that a whole lot during the summer Sometimes in the winter.
Tea is a diuretic so you do have to be careful not to drink TOO MUCH..

Interesting! Does it contain caffeine or sugar?

Yes, I drink the caffeinated variety. Sometimes with sugar sometimes with an artifical sweetner.

@1hopefulman It isn't the sugar as I will sometimes drink it plain. The caffeine..maybe.

@snowy22315 Caffeine and sugar are pretty addictive.

Coffee isn't as bad for you as people would have you believe, as a matter of fact in moderation it is good for you.

I'm a southern girl so of course I have an appreciation for iced tea. I don't drink it very often anymore though. I try to drink only water actually.
I actually responded because your talking about iced tea reminded me of a lotion and bar soap combo I saw one of my favorite etsy sellers posting she had made. I don't know that I will buy from her ever again since I intend to make my own body products, and I've discovered where she is getting the scent for one of my favorite lotions.

You say that like it's something bad or something to be ashamed of.
Want some watermelon lime zinger tea?

@FourWalls I love butterscotch...that would probably float my boat. Along with licorice. I used to love a cinammon tea that had licorice root in it. Steeping that for about 20 minutes and the natural sugars made it very sweet..no other sweetner needed

I honestly think peach and raspberry are the best varieties. Mango and Blackberry are pretty good too.

I am very weird when it comes to iced tea... There are days when I want unsweetened and then days when I want Southern sweet tea. How about you?

I would say in general I like dome kind of sweetner in it although I will also drink it straight.

It is summer and time for iced drinks. Tea is much better than a lot of things for you.

I don't know what an iced tea addiction would look like. I'm from the south where people drink iced tea as much as they breathe in oxygen.
