Hot Tea count as Water?

i dont drink much tea, but when i do have a cup i count it as water. I dont add anything to it so i think of it like flavored water.

I drink a lot of tea as well as water and sometimes a coffee or two. I count it as long as there isn't any sugar in it (added, fake, premixed).

There was a short article in Shape magazine about general consumption and it covers coffee, which is comparable to caffeinated tea.

Yep, it's all water.

If there's no milk or sugar in it it's water. It's just hot, has no cal flavourings in it and therefore is simply... water.
(You will get an unholy row on here for suggesting this, as unless you drink it straight from the source its not considered water in some peoples minds.)

edit: If you add milk and sugar just count them as calories.
edit: edit: Having said that, straight water I feel is best, so consequently I try to drink at least half of my water neat.
