What are you drinking?

[Aphos]

Several years ago I traveled to Sweden to visit my brother and his Swedish wife.  This was in July.  While there, somehow the conversation came around to iced tea.  My sister-in-law asked what is was with Americans and iced tea.  Who would want to drink ICED tea?

I replied that it was 105 F (41 C) the day I left, and iced tea is very refreshing.

Highly diluted (but *very* cold) lemonade. First break in what will be a long, hot (90's F) workday.

I also consider cold tea an abomination.

Orange juice and mineral water (separate!!!)

Call me when you live in an area where 108*F is not unusual in the summer.

Iced Antigua, still. Old, from this morning, but still surprisingly good.

But they drink the tea or cofee very hot in hot countries (clearly not because they lack ice)

Chamomile tea as usual at this time of day

Nowadays you can find Ice Tea on the shelf's of almost every grocery store here, either in the form of little bags with a sugary powder to be mixed with water or ready made in bottles.

Swedes in general haven't learned how to make their own much cheaper and less sugary Ice Tea them self yet, I think it will take a couple of summers more with temperatures around 35-40 C (yes, we have those too at least in the south half of the country) before we learn.    

I'm drinking orange juice BTW.

Current Target doesn't have it. Maybe the New SuperTarget will...

Drinking Sweet Tea (iced) the House Wine of the South.

Just finished the tea before it could turn to ice

Drinking Mint Green Tea.  No sweetener*

_{* a personal preference:  I don't like sweet cold drinks all that much, with the exception of iced coffee.}

[Swatopluk]

Time to drink that tea

[anthrobabe]

drum roll please

Chamomile tea  -yes, seriously, and it is hot and I have the tea bag on my left eye to sooth the redness it has (chamomile tea bags are great for refreshing the eyes-works for me anyway)
Yes I am typing sitting in a funny position-- wish I had a web cam-- you would all just die!

[Swatopluk]

I thought chamomile extract was more against inflammation of the mucous membranes (esp. in mouth and throat).

Just finished my mug of chamomile tea

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

Iced green tea with mint.   Fairly weak.   No sweetner, natch.


Aaaaaah, that's the stuff...
