Inspired by this article. Now I'm curious. If you like several of these, just pick your favorite.

Hot, rooibos tea with Stevia for me. Shaken not stirred.

I never have understood the alure of iced tea. I have tried it once or twice, but it is not to my taste. Most of it has caffeine in it anyway.

I have gone from tea to coffee and back. Right now, I'm going through a fruity-iced-tea (white or green) thing thanks to both Teavana (Roibos Tropica and Jasmine Dragon Pearls blend) and Starbuck's (Shaken blueberry white tea). DH got me back into sweetening tea - I think I agree that at least when you ice it, it brings out the more subtle flavors.

Tea is tricky decaf, but at least there are plenty of great herbals out there. I've also started allowing green and white teas just because their caffeine content is pretty low.

Decaffeinated. Iced. No additions...lemon or sugar.

About once a summer though I'll make a batch of sweet tea that sends me into sugar shock and back to my undergrad days at Alabama. Must be served with Southern food. Haven't done that this summer...

I prefer my tea with a bit of sugar & a lot of lemon and lots of ice

Yeah, when I drink tea, it's usually green tea, and it's totally plain with nothing added...
Other than that, I drink black coffee...

I don't usually add stuff to my beverages.
After a stint at SBUX, I learned how to drink my coffee with nothing added, and now it's the only way I can drink it!

Coffee or bust....

Although I gotta admit I like white tea (plain) on cold winter evenings (I TRIED to like green tea, I really did).

[GFPolarBear]

Oh, don't get me wrong. I LOVE sweet tea. I just try to avoid it unless it's got Splenda in it, for calorie concerns.

I'm afraid I don't fit in very well here in southeast Missouri. I don't like sweet tea, though I can manage to sip it slowly to be polite, if it's the only offering, which it often is.

As a Pastor's wife, I have had to learn to make sweet tea, with way too much sugar dissolved in the hot tea, before it's poured over the pitcher full of ice. I even get compliments, and no on seems to mind that I drink ice water instead. (It leaves more tea for eveyone else!)

I also don't like Mt. Dew or Dr. Pepper, the other two big drinks of this area. I really am an outcast.

Venti Green or Passion shaken iced tea with no sweatener... from Starbucks! I love it!

I drink iced tea in the warm months and more hot tea when it's freezing here. A coffee here and there in the winter too.
