Iced Tea: Good Food or Bad Food?

Posted by Matt on June 23rd, 2010 at 10:18am

Compared to soda, iced tea is a much healthier way to quench your thirst this Summer. But when trying to cool down, think twice before pouring yourself a tall glass of iced tea. One cup of Nestea lemon iced tea has over 21 grams of sugar, and one can of Lipton Brisk tea has 18 grams of sugar. Yikes!

But it doesn’t have to be this way! When you make iced tea at home, you can control how much sugar you take in. For healthier iced tea options, try these recipes:

• Lemonade Iced Tea
• Vanilla Almond Iced Tea
• Easy Chai Tea
