AIBU to ask you if you like ice tea

[Flyingfish2019]

And which recipe for homemade ice-tea you like most?

No, gross. Think you have to be, I dunno, Spanish? American??? To like it.

I think it's one of those things you only like if you grow up having it.

We live in Philly and there is a stupid sugar tax on all drinks that makes a 2l bottle of coke $3-$4. So I make sweet tea instead. i boil a kettle and have a giant glass pinch dispenser, about 6l worth. I add about 1/4 a pack of sugar, 4 yorkshire gold teabags and the kettle of water in. Stir the sugar till it melts then let tea bags steep a bit, too up with cold water and bung in fridge. It does the job. I don't add lemon or fruit etc, I use those for raspberry lemonade about once a week as a change. I would guess in UK you could use less sugar and still enjoy it as you won't have had your palatte spoiled by the godawful sweetness of everything stateside.

I loved iced tea. Watching with interest...

Nope. I don't know any English people who drink iced tea, only Americans. Although I'm sure someone will be along to prove me wrong.

Yes I am in the southern US

Yes its amazing but only the proper kind that you get in the Southern American states 👌🏽

In the uk and only drink I can stomach at 4 months pregnant

I love iced fruit tea or black tea with lemon (just brew , cool, pour over ice and frozen fruit), but not the really sweet premade sugary American type stuff

Im English and i drink ice tea. A bit odd to say an entire nationality doesnt...what about the Brits who now live in the US who may have liked it after being introduced?

The sweet stuff is foul to me but I do think it's a matter of what you're used to as a child.

Cold brew coffee on the other hand I love.

@Ivegotthree: I did not grow up around “modern“ icetea variants. However my mother used to make ice tea from lemons juice, water and black tea (in the 1990s) but I am delighted how many variants there are nowadays.

I like unsweetened iced tea. I make my own with fruity tea bags (200ml water for every tea bag, steep in cold water in fridge for 7-8 hours). Twinnings also do good tea bags specially for iced tea that are ready in 5 mins. It's just yummy flavoured water with no added sugar

Do the bottles of Lipton peach or lemon flavour drink count? I like them.

It’s horrible.

Yy to iced coffee, but no to ice tea (it's 'orrible).

I LOVE iced tea, unsweetened, and make my own by cold brewing it. It's so delicious and refreshing.

I said that I DON'T KNOW ANY ENGLISH PEOPLE WHO DRINK ICED TEA. I didn't say that I know all English people and that I speak for the nation.

I do like Lipton's etc but I also make my own.

I like earl grey, unsweetened but with slices of oranges and lemons through it.

Does a long island iced tea count? Am quite partial to one or two of them on occasion 😁

I'm American & can't stand iced tea. Blech.
People gushed about it when I was growing up. Blech.
Have become addict of hot tea with milk.

YABU to call it ice tea. It's ICED tea.

I love it!

Meh, wrong.

I’ve tried it a million times a million different times and it’s still vile

Hope so, that's the kind I'm used to!

*different WAYS that is...
