I LOVE mint iced tea during the summer! I use Bigelow Plantation Mint...it is the best mint tea that I've found....and I don't use sugar either! It is so refreshing on a hot summer day.....

Just plain old tea with lots of sugar. Bring to a boil 5 tea bags let it sit for awhile then add it to a 1/2 gallon of water and 1 cup of sugar. Really, I don't drink it but my southern family loves it!

Water, tea, sugar. Pour over ice. If you use mint crush fresh leaf drop it in the glass prior to the ice.

I discovered passion fruit ice tea a few summers ago and like its natural sweetness. Then I went back down to Georgia this spring and totally reverted to sweet tea: 4 Lucerne ice tea bags, 1 cup+ sugar, 1 gallon water. Don't bother to remove the tea bags -- just stick the whole pitcher in the fridge after it cools.

In Georgia, you need a cup of sugar per half gallon of ice tea.

Personally, to a Southerner like me (born and raised in Alabama), tea without sugar is nothing more than dirty water. I don't see how you guys drink it without sugar. Oh well, everybody has their own tastes. I am glad you enjoy it.

Spent four years in Oklahoma. "Tea" is always iced. You need to ask for "hot tea" to get it English style.

Rooibos; very nice.

Please not this is coming from a Baptist.

J/K, my friend. It reminds me of the time I went to an Applebee's with my mom and aunt. We sat down and my aunt saw that they had a special of LIIT. Being from the south, she of course wanted an iced tea with her meal. I had to explain to her that this wasn't the standard iced tea.

Vanilla Iced Tea.

I take some Lipton powdered tea and put a bit f vanilla ice cream in it to allow it to melt over night. Very good.

I love Arizona Green Tea that comes in the big jug or the cans. Delicious!

I don't know if Stash is still out there, but they have a Moroccan Mint tea that's to die for and is great for iced tea.

I also like Crystal Lite's Peach Ice Tea and Green Tea with Raspberry. Their regular iced tea is great too.

And I love Snapple. Haven't had it in awhile, but it's great.

I am really enjoying the peach iced tea from Heine Bros, a local coffee shop. Rooibos is great as well! And orange spice!


I don't recommend the fruit teas from Arby's (even though blackberry tea just sounds like it should be sooo good). It costs $2 for a medium sized cup that's half-full of ice!

My friend learned a sweet tea recipe from when she lived in Georgia, it calls for baking soda. Marrow Man, is that standard Georgian fare?

I have one more tea I like and that is the little packets mixed with/in water bottles. Not as good as homemade, but it does good in a pinch

Baking soda? That's for buttermilk biscuits, honey.
Opps, you weren't talking to me, but I did do most of my growing up in the peach state.

Baking soda?!? Seriously? Hrm. I grew up in GA and never heard of that. But you never know with those little southern ladies. They're crazy when it comes that stuff.

I run into a lot of people up north (well, where I live in MD which I would consider "north") who don't like iced tea because they find it bitter, even sweet tea. This is caused from tea that didn't get iced down quick enough. My recipe:

Boil 2 quarts of water in a saucepan. Steep 3 "family" sized tea bags (Luzianne is my favorite) for 3 minutes. To a one gallon pitcher (that has a closeable top - tea left in an open container gets funky quick) add anywhere from 1/4 cup (for slightly sweet tea) up 2 cups (for my mom's "ouch-now-my-teeth-hurt" tea). Pour the steeped tea over the sugar, mix. Add ice until you've filled up the container. This ices it down really quick so you have a crisp, fresh taste. Add a bit of water if you don't have enough ice. Throw in some lemon juice or mint if you're so inclined. Store it closed in the fridge. Enjoy!
