Tea - Iced or Hot?

http://nmaps.net/user/golfkid · Postby **golf** » 2009.10.26 (13:45)

How do you like your tea? Do you like it steaming hot, straight out of the teapot, ready to warm you up on a cold winter morning? Or do you like it in a tall glass half-full with ice, droplets of water trickling down the outside, cooling you off after a hard day's work outside in the summer?

Myself, I prefer the iced version. I don't know why, but it seems like the exact same teabag has a different taste when served hot than when made as the iced tea.

Now with a no preference option!

Where's the no preference option?

Hot, although I wouldn't pass up a good iced tea on a hot day.

I usually prefer hot, enough that I still drink hot tea on a hot day.
On the rare occasions that I feel like iced tea, it needs to be substantially sweetened and contain lemonade and/or raspberry.

Usually like it hot, but both are good.

Agreed. I think that iced is really nasty unless sweetened. Its like drinking cold coffee.

Hot, and freaking lots of it. Can't get enough of tea. Never drink it iced though. That's just not how it's meant to be done.

Hot tea.

Iced tea [Lemonade]

Either or.

Lemon flavored iced tea.

http://nmaps.net/user/ninja143 · Postby **ninja143** » 2009.10.27 (01:19)

I like them both however now the question is what flavors of tea could be used and whether there is a sweetener (Ie. syrup, sugar, nutrasweet type sugars)

Tea tastes horrible, and when I had it I placed about a dozen or so sugar cubes in it, but I believe I would prefer the iced version, if only for the fact that I like water.

Dozen or so sugar cubes...

I prefer sweetened ice tea.

Actually I prefer every drink I can think of outside of hot chocolate and milk to literally be ice cold. I'll fill my cup to the top with ice then add the given beverage.

Postby **Aldaric** » 2009.10.27 (03:15)

Warn or hot milk is disgusting! All drinks taste good cold. Not that ice in all drinks is good, but cold is almost always preferable in a drink. Hot Chocolate is better hot, but it still tastes good cold.

Warm tea is the way to go, since I am highly insensitive to extremely high and extremely low temperature beverages and food. Although I do enjoy the occasional Brisk or Nestea, or an artificially sweetened cold tea. I can't down the literal "Ice in Tea", however.

Hot, definitely hot.

Snapple for the win! Also, that Arizona stuff is really good, but it is expensive.

I prefer Arizona Iced Tea, but then again, Amurrican.

Wha...? Cold coffee is usually better than hot black coffee

Iced tea [Lemonade]

Lemonade does not equal tea, unless you made tea with lemon leaves, but then that would just be lemon tea.

I like cold tea, because most hot tea I have had hasn't matched the flavor of cold tea.
And plain tea usually just tasted bad.

Its like drinking black coffee.

Y'know, I'm trying to come up with an exception to this, but I can't. I think you're very right -- having a beverage served cold is always an option.

Either way is good. Except you have to open the tea thingie, put it into the cup of water, add sugar, put into microwave and wait 1-2 mins, to have hot tea. Open the fridge, and voilà, you got iced tea.

Preference: Iced Tea: Mango
Hot Tea: Ceylom Assam black tea.
