Growing up in the south Iced Tea has always been a favorite. I make a batch every moring and it lasts throughout the day. Started using cold brew bags when they came out. I prefer Luzianne over Lipton. Put one bag in a large mason jar. Let it set, add sugar or sweetner as desired, shake it up and there you go.

I drank lots of ice tea until my Dr. told me it can cause kidney stones. He switched me to lemonade.
 
My wife and I both like iced tea, no lemon thank you. My wife and I met online, her screen name was Sweet Iced Tea-whats not to like!! Love my tea and my wife :-)
 
I love a big glass of ice tea. I have a 32oz tumbler that I fill with tea and ice and a little sugar and lemon. I sip on it all afternoon, Summer Fall Winter Spring.

I love that pre made Gold Leaf tea that they sell in grocery stores, but it gets kind of expensive at about $2.50 for a 59oz bottle. So I brew my own with Lipton tea bags. I can make the same amount of tea for about 25¢. It's not quite as good, but much cheaper and better for the landfill.
 
I love iced tea. When I purchase pre-made iced tea, I prefer the peach flavored. At home, it is about the only beverage I consume short of hot tea and orange juice. Since I was diagnosed as diabetic, I brew my iced tea and indulge in a little sweet n low. I try to avoid soda because of the salt content.
 
As a former Ice Tea fanatic - I learned the hard way that it can and does help cause Kidney Stones. After several bouts and Lithotripsy procedures - NO MORE Ice Tea for me.
 
At one time I probably drank close to a gallon a day.. Always seemed to have indigestion.. Docs did some tests and determined the tea was helping to cause reflux. Ended up with barrats esophagus. Darn near killed me. Had an ablation due to esophageal cancer. Quit drinking sweet(any) tea...20 years ago...Still miss it. It was a Southern necessity darn it
 
Call it right! ;) "Sweet Tea"! Absolutely love it. As I've gotten older I don't take as much sugar as I used to, but I have it every day.




Sweet Tea is horrible! I do not know how people drink that? But lots of people do.. I like a tiny bit of sugar, no lemon. Store bought or package is also terrible. But different stokes as they say.
 
Another one that likes Luzianne. I also have the machine that my mother bought me years ago, Mr. Coffee.

Light on the sugar with some lemon or better yet Key Lime when my tree has some.

I try not to drink to much but on a hot day I go through it and it goes through me.
