towards your water? If it had no sugar or sweetener in it?

    Sure. . .if you want it to? I tend to just log it as its own thing (separately from water) but I'm weird; I kind of look at the "overall picture" though to determine if I'm drinking enough (not just my water count).

    Sorry if that doesn't make sense.

    Yes, it counts even with sweetener in it. All fluids count. Tea is steeped in water. Unless you are Chemist and alter the chemical makeup, when you are done steeping it will still be H 2 O.

    Probably not because it does contain caffine - which means it would also be a duretic... Its sooo good for you though. I really must drink more myself!

    I'm not sure I'd count it 1:1 but it's close enough to water.

    My doctor said it counts, so I do count it. It's also very good for you, especially if you don't add any sweetener.
