Well... as an American I definitely like my tea sweet. Lol. Most of the time I get my tea pre-made in a bottle though. Typically either Gold Peak or Pure Leaf. Typically a 1.89L of that will last me a whole week, as I use it as a "pick me up" once my lunch break is over at work, and I don't have a lot of time to brew it fresh. Although, I guess I could just brew enough for a whole week, and keep it in the refrigerator.

Sweet teas are fine, but I don't like much refined sugar in them. If it needs carbohydrate-loaden sweets, then honey and a little rock sugar with steviolglycosides as the main sweetening aspect, as it is carbohydrate free (almost, due to intensity and lower amount needed).

Two liters for a week, that's a fine amount for "in-between" and I guess then it's no problem to buy it "ready to use".

My morning starts often with almost a liter of tea and there might be another one at the evening, as such it would cost quite a sum I guess. Not to talk about the main problem right now: water freezes. :ROFLMAO:

As such I have to keep it either expandable in a bag compared to a hard-shell encasing (which both only keeps line water well for 2-3 days without bacteria building up (if not frozen)) or non-expandable at > 0°C.

And if I would prepare the tea beforehand, it would get as cool as an ice tea, as such not much enjoyment together with freshly toasted food (teeth don't like the difference of around 40°C). As such I often boil it fresh and just let it cool the two to six minutes it takes. Adding freshly squeezed lemon juice is a fine way as well.

Oh, if I would leave black tea in water for more than 8 to 10 minutes at max. (usual are 2 to 5 minutes for me), then it gets unhealthy and veeery bitter. :ROFLMAO:

Hello beloved MareFloofer! ???

Had some overly brewed 45 minute black tea but it tasted non-consumable. Would be somewhat toxic as well.

Black tea is about all I drink. Green tea is... eh.. okay. The dandelion tea I made one time was not very good unfortunately. I actually wanted to like it since it's literally an abundant weed that I can pick from my back yard. I typically use just use pure cane sugar to sweeten mine, although I could see both honey or even a bit of molasses as good sweeteners as well. ...............Dang it! Now I'm kinda curious about molasses! Lol. I think I might give it a shot tomorrow and see if it works as well as I'm picturing it to taste in my head.
