What is your favorite black tea for making homemade iced tea? I like Paul Newman's.

I've never tried decaf tea, but I've noticed decaf coffee tastes flat.

I buy caffeine free tea bags too. Usually whatever store brand is available. Once I reached a certain age and on blood pressure meds can't stand the feeling caffeine gives me.

My grandmother used Luzianne. Plus an undetermined amount of sugar. Best sweet iced tea I’ve ever had!

Agree. Restaurant teas are never strong enough for me. When I make it, it's two or three times stronger than those.

We do get the Luzianne also. It is not bad either, except the no caffeine part

I remember my (ex-)wife's reunions and family get togethers and someone would always ask, "who made the tea?" I'm not sure it was a compliment or a criticism, but the answer was always positive.
Go Tigers!!!

No love for Tetley? This was my favorite before I tried Newman's.

Lipton mostly because that is what we were raised on and it's good. Does Luzianne taste like corn dogs?

I like Luzianne; brew it in my electric iced tea maker 2-3 times a week.

I use Lipton's k-cups. Mix the sweet & unsweet half & half. To get more tea flavor, I use only 6 1/2 oz of water over ice. Funnel it into a gallon jug or other large container after using 1 of each k-cups. Expensive to buy & make w/ so little water but worth it.
Milo's is great too - the only pre-made tea worth buying. I get one gal. each of sweet & unsweet & mix them half & half.
I've never seen Newman's but will give it a try if I see their k-cups. Thanks for the info.

Agreed. Milo’s is closest to homemade as you’ll get from store bought tea.

Not even sure which one I’m drinking. The wife keeps 2 gallons in the refrigerator and I’m the only one that drinks it. Love the stuff!

I like Tetley. I also like Charleston Breakfast tea for hot tea. I grew up on hot tea in the morning growing up in Summerville.

I go back and forth between Lipton and Luzianne. I love all of Paul Newman's stuff so I will have to try his tea.
All profits go to charities for kids - pretty hard to argue.
Hopefully y'all add your sugar when it's boiling for better flavor.

Another Great Question

C+H, Domino, or Dixie Crystal's?
I remember some sad days from my youth when my mom discovered her affinity for 'Splenda' - I'll never do that again.

Dominio and Dixie Crystals growing up. Now, organic turbinado or raw sugar.
