I love to drink sweet tea in the summer time. Or anytime I work out doors. I'll make up a huge gallon jug and then fill a big plastic cup with ice and pour in the sweet tea. I usually keep it with me while working in my yard. And since it is a good source of antioxidants I am sure that is why it's so refreshing while working outside.
Weird thing is I never make it in the Winter/Fall....odd
So how often do you get your dose of tea?

i drink tea daily...
my family love iced tea, so i try to have some instant ice tea mixes here.
i have another tea that i drink every night... its called senna tea, to keep me fit, i have a slow metabolism due to hypothyroidism. even if i eat a small portion of meals only i gain weight easily. drinking senna tea helps me control my weight.

to add...
sometimes i make my own tea... i dry some avocado leaves, boil it then add lemon and sugar, and ice.
sometimes its oregano tea, i picked fresh leaves boil water, when its boiling drop the leaves, wait for a while, then add more water, ice, sugar and lemon.
at other times, i use kamote tops (leaves of sweet potatoes), boil the leaves, and do the rest above... the leaves are good to eat rich in vitamin A, i just dip them in soysauce with vingegar. or make camote tops salad, add chopped tomatoes, onions, vinegar and a little salt.
and this kind of tea i only make when one of us have problems with urinating... i use sambong leaves, boil it and do the rest above.
even my kids drink these teas i am making. as long as there's lemon in it and sugar, they'll drink it.

I do not like tea, I like to drink coffee. Even the hot summer, I also drink coffee, because I like the taste of coffee flavor.

nothing wrong with coffee. I drink probably six to eight cups a day myself.

When the weather is warm I make a huge jug of it on average every day or every other day. Love the stuff.

Not often. I actually do not like to drink tea or the similar product. The beverage I like most is the fresh juice. Sometimes I make it by myself. Sometimes I buy it from the store. I think they are good to our health. For tea, I can not sleep well after I drink it. I also feel very uncomfortable after I have some tea.

Tea has caffeine in it and that's why you probably have a hard time sleeping, but they make decaffeinated tea also. And you might have a reaction to the certain kindof tea if it's makes you feel bad. I know there are all different kinds from green tea to orange pekoe (or something like that). I know I can only buy and drink the sweet tea myself, otherwise my allergies go nuts.

Ok I wake up and have a hot cup of tea. Then during the day I drink Ice Green Tea made in the sun. Then at night I have another cup of tea.

I haven't had sun tea in forever. My mom used to make it all the time. I might have to do that this summer.
Thanks

There is not a day that goes by that a big pitcher of sweet tea isn't sitting in our fridge. We are originally from the south, so that might explain why. The only time we drink hot tea is when we are sick. Hot tea with a little bit of honey is awesome when you have a cold.

Yes, it's tied with the south in a big way. Southern Belles and all.
Thanks for responding.

I do not drink ice tea but i drink hot tea about three to four times a day whether it be summer,winter or monsoon because i love hot tea.I have also read that tea is a good source of antioxidants but it also contains tanin which makes us tea addict.

hi taface412
I usually only drink one cup of tea each day. but since we have a daughter aged 2.5 years, sometimes I can drink more than a cup of tea. because my daughter likes tea, my wife also, so almost every morning my wife make a big cup of tea, about 2-3 mug.and when we are outside the home, and my wife prefers to drink tea in bottles than the soda. so, I can drink 2-3 glass of tea each day.Here,in Indonesia every day is summer day, so I prefer iced tea, except in the morning :)

I drink hot herbal tea almost every day at work. I don't like iced tea. I don't really even like ice, LOL. I realize that makes me a weirdo, and that's cool.

Not frequently. I have the habit of drinking coffee, but not too much. Only 2 small coffees a day, in the morning and after lunch. In general I associate drinking tea and illness, which is not very smart...The idea of iced tea seems good, indeed.

I barely ever drink tea. Sometimes I do, but not often. Though.. It seems that everyone around me loves to drink it. I don't know why. Most of it makes me sick, for some reason. The only kind that really doesn't is green tea.
I had a little tea today, but it was sorta like a mixed drink sorta thing. Wasn't just tea. I can't drink anything sweet, because my teeth are sensitive, and I can't drink super cold things either. Hate how it works like that. Anyways. Yeah. I don't drink much tea.

I drink an average of 10 cups of hot tea everyday.. I can't go a day without tea.. Although i don't understand the concept of Ice tea.. the word tea means hot so if you drink tea surely it has to be hot? I find Ice tea totally yuk! but hot tea.. oh yes.. and I drink it everytime.. winter summer autum spring...

During the summer it is quite refreshing to have a glass of freshly made iced tea. With all of the different flavors out there you can even make up your own blend. Tea is a healthy alternative to a beverage choice.
During the winter it feels so good to snuggle up to a fresh cup of hot tea. I like to add honey and lemon to my tea. It gives it a sweet kick and is better than adding sugar. Decaffeinated tea is just the thing before going to sleep.
