I love ice tea, but not the kind that has lemon and sugar!!! Blech!

My kind of ice tea is just regular tea with milk in it (no sugar) and put into the fridge to get cold. That's the kind of "ice tea" that I grew up with and thought I was getting when I ordered my first ice tea in a restaurant.

I also like Starbucks' Mocha Frappaccino....yumm!!!! I treat myself to one each time I go grocery shopping which is once or twice per month.

What about you?
Whenever I am in a Vietnamese restaurant or other restaurant that knows how to make it and serves it I chose Iced Coffee. The traditional French style is layered with cream and sugar and is served in a dramatic setting where you mix your own.

A cup of hot coffee every morning. I'll order ice tea when I'm out-no room in
right now to make some (of course its unsweetened too!)

My Starbuck's order is "Venti black tea, splash of green, five Splendas," but I love hot tea, too -- especially Earl Grey or Jasmine blossom.

Can't drink coffee, though! But I do love coffee ice cream... especially a deep, dark coffee milkshake with a bag of salt-and-vinegar potato chips... ahhhhhhh.....

Do you have a DairyQueen? They have a moolatte that is so yummy! I'm a big fan of frapichino too.
I have had sun tea before. That's good too. But I usually just boil it in the tea pot when I make it. Then mix it with sugar and put it in the fridge to cool off. Taste soooo good! Much better than store bought stuff!

Yes, there are DairyQueens around here. Moolatte.....sounds good!! Will have to try it!!

I am not big on iced or hot tea, although I do like to drink apple spice herb tea is my allergies are acting up. It seems to help for some reason. I do drink a couple of cups a coffee everyday but more for energy boost then anything else. I do love iced coffee though and have it quite often as a treat.

Coffee Coffee Coffee. If it's really hot I add ice cubes or add the coffee to some vanilla ice cream

I drink both hot and iced teas. I like Yerba Mate iced. THAT will wake you up in the morning...eeee!

Coffee is, for whatever reason, hard on my tummy. So I don't usually drink it. Unless I've been an especially good girl and I'm near Intelligentsia.
