| Sherry, I'm from the south, I drink tea . I believe it's a requirement. I avoid drinking sugar at all costs since I'm a type 2 diabetic. If I'm going to indulge in a sugar rush, I eat it. That being said I don't do artificial sweeteners either. I do use Stevia and Monk Fruit. Both are natural fruit sweeteners and both are passable. I'm not into the fancy teas, I drink a mixture of 1/2 Uncle Lee's green tea and black tea with lemon and/or lime. Most of the time it's iced tea, but in winter I have been known to enjoy a cup of hot tea. |

"We invite you to take a private moment to relax and unwind with a delightful cut of Bigelow French vanilla tea. It's rich vanilla flavor will calm down even the most hectic of days and because it has the added benefit of healthy antioxidants and no calories, its good for you too! Remember, more good thing are what every lifestyle needs. Vive le Bigelow French Vanilla Tea!" I have to have sugar in my tea. But if I had to drink it without this would be the only one I would be able to take down without any sweetener

Yes it looks scary. Oh well. Scary looking foods have never deterred me before. I just think it tastes great. It has natural carbonation and all the sugar is from fruit only. No refined sugars, practically no calories, tastes great and it's good for you!

| Tea Sweetners Tea is a very delicious drink. I drink some quite often but not an avid tea drinker. When I do drink tea, its usually black tea sweetened with Xylitol sweetener. I also have type 2 diabetes and this sweetener does not raise my sugar levels at all. It is stated on the package it is safe for type 2 diabetes! If you are interested in trying it, try to get the type made from the Birch tree. Not the overseas type.. It is a one to one ratio to regular sugar and you can't tell the difference. |

| xylitol YES! Keep all packaging and product from your pets! I forgot to mention this when I posted about the tea. No onions, grapes, chocolate etc. Very bad for them. Thank you for correcting me! |

| I'd not heard about Xylitol being a toxin to dogs until I saw that thread about our members two little ones getting so sick from it a couple of years or so back! It was a shock to me to know that there was yet another fairly common thing around the house that could be so deadly to our dogs! While I couldn't find any of my food or condiments or sweeteners that contained it, a search of the cabinets turned up a doggie breath spray I'd bought but had never used on Tibbe that contained Xylitol!!!

| I use a 3 quart iced tea maker. I put a packet of crystal light (the size used to make 2 quarts) in with the ice and it dissolves into the tea when it spills over into the pitcher. It flavors the tea as well as sweetening it.

| Doggie poisons Just to be on the safe side, I always research any new food before I think about trying it with my little lady. She is 16 and wouldn't take very much to harm her badly. Now that she has survived the past ordeal, I have to be more careful than before. She was lifeless after the major operation to remove the bad tooth. The doc was worried she wouldn't pull through either. I kept feeding her with the special food from the vet with a syringe. Also as much water as I could get her to swallow. She finally got enough strength to fight the attempt to feed her after several days. Still I kept giving her the rich food. About 8 days or so, she was moving around the house and found the water and food, started eating a little. Now, she is doing much better eating very good and drinking lots of water. It was touch and go for a few days but maybe with a little luck she will be ok again. Still blind and can't hear but we can get around that just as long as she is ok otherwise. |

| This is related only in that it mentions tea! As a southerner, iced tea is the most commonly served here, and when I make a pitcher, I always include a flavored tea bag-peach if I have it-just to make it interesting. I had an aunt who made a fabulous pitcher years ago, and I was complimenting it. She (one of my mom's four sisters) told explained why she made the best tea in of the five: "Your mom doesn't use enough tea, "A" doesn't use enough sugar, "B" adds soda, and "C" adds instant." Guess I heard that! Anyway, I am a big hot tea drinker, and have finally gotten it down to a "recipe,"-one tea bag, two packets of Splenda, and two Mini-moos (ultrapasteurized creamers). My husband makes it perfectly now Last edited by GracieJane; 08-03-2014 at 03:26 PM. |

So many people seem to love adding peach to their tea, I'm just going to have to try it. I love a good pitcher of sweet, strong, ice-cold tea.

| Says on this website it is to neutralize the tannins and take the bitterness out of black tea. Soda does neutralize acid so it might in tea also. Hmmm. Might try a pinch next pitcher to see how I like it. I sometimes add a dash of salt to my brewing coffee so I might just try the soda in black tea.
