Iced tea is just tea with ice. No fancy flavoring or any such stuff. It can be consumed sweetened or unsweetened. (Almost always sweet in the south, usually unsweetened in the north. Another N/S difference is that it's served year round here, but only seasonally up north. Makes sense, because I can't imagine drinking anything cold during a New York winter.) With good iced tea, the tea is brewed normally, and the sugar and ice are added at the end. Only heathens like Mbo drink the premade Nestea stuff. : )
