If I make iced tea I use Lusianne minus the sugar. However for hot tea is use Ahmad.


@proudlyfromNJ  Sometimes go healthier than sugar. Although artificial, Splenda substitutes for the sugar.

Oh I adore a cup of tea.  After my morning coffee, I love Twinings English Breakfast or Earl Grey.  Both are easy to find at a grocery store.  Also when the weather gets chilly a cuppa of Trader Joe's chai is delish.  Happy Sipping

Re: Favorite Tea

[ Edited ]

My favorite is the U.K. Twinings tea. It’s so much better than the Twinings version sold here in the USA. I never knew there was a difference until my daughter brought me a Twinings gift set from her visit to London.

 

I like English Breakfast for the morning and a nice, hot cup of Earl Grey in the afternoon, with milk and honey and a Biscoff biscuit on the side.

DD buys Earl Grey de la Creme Loose Leaf Black Tea Blend at Trader Joe's and that's all she drinks. I haven't tried it yet

@Shanus-

My grandmother used to make the best ice tea in a huge blue pitcher. She probably used a whole package of sugarWoman LOL

We never called it sweet tea just iced tea even though she was originally from the south. I know they call it that now.

It tasted so good and of course I've never had it taste so good again. I don't remember if she used lemon but I don't remember tasting lemon in it.

 I always have tea hot or cold without sugar now, because I only liked her sweet teaSmiley Happy

@Shanus.  We don't like any sugar or any type of sweetener in our tea or coffee. I only keep a sugar bowl of sugar for one family member who uses it. I never tell him how old it must be! lol
