This is way too expensive for a drink.

Not to mention Lipton Ice Tea is rubbish. You can make your own for 1/10th of the price, and it'll taste 10x better.

What are you making your tea out of if it costs €0.50? Gold or something?

My favorite part about purchasing iced tea in the store is that you will have 2 bottles sitting right next to each other. One will contain a product that costs far more and both will cost the same price. The main cost of sweet tea is sugar. No sugar in unsweet tea, just water and tea leaves...

The cost of the sugar is extremely minor compared to the price of bottling, transporting, and vending the tea.

Preach.

It’s spelled “peach”. But I know what you mean, I really like aspberry tea.

It’s spelled “raspberry”. But I know what you mean, I really like reen tea.

It's spelled C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER

It's spelled "combo beaker". But I know what you mean, I really like iced tea.

jesus christ its been a long time since those burned match-end neurons had activity pumped into them

It’s spelled “green”. But I know what you mean, I really like emon tea.

Mix in some peach herbal tea bags for another 15 cents?

Arizona Ice Tea ftw!

Note the € sign - it’ll be nearly as expensive and you’ll only find 2-3 flavors if you’re lucky (US expat in NL)

Op: Brew your own tea and make your own. Or reduce it by half and add it as a concentrate to fizzy water if you need the bubbles. Also, equal parts sugar and water, low heat in a saucepan until reduced by ⅓-½ and you’ve got sugar syrup. That lasts in the fridge forever, and you can make it as sweet or not as you’d like.

I'm saving this to try later

Use low to medium heat - too hot and you can make the concentrates bitter or crystallized. 😉 The tea concentrate can be kept in the fridge for about a week, but keep it capped.

If you're using Lipton tea bags then it's more like 1/100th
