What to drink besides water? iced tea ideas?

I use Celestial seasons berry flavored herbal tea, make it double strength, steep it for 5 mins then pour it over the same amount of ice.Delicious. You can do that with any herbal tea as well.

I have always been a huge water person just plain old cold water, I have
discovered and become addicted to adding chunks of orange's, peach's.
lemon, melon to my water, I leave it in the glass all day and just add more
ice and water.

If you make iced tea (any kind-- I love a combination of black and green, and you can buy big packs of both for not too much), add frozen berries to it to keep it cool. Raspberries and blackberries are a personal favorite, but really, any frozen fruit works, too. This is also fabulous in a nice shiraz, but wine has a lot more calories than unsweetened tea.

I drink Uncle Lee's Organic Green Tea (1 teabag steeped in 16oz boiled water for about 10 minutes) and then add 1 Tbsp of honey and stir well. If you don't want it hot, then let it cool down and then refrigerate. Tastes great either way! Totally compensates for my craving for a sugary drink. Now Coke isn't so appealing anymore! Remember to give yourself time to adjust to the taste of a new drink and natural sweetener. It may take a few days.

Just use whatever your favorite hot tea is, brew it and add cold water and ice. I like green and white teas. I usually like sweetness in drinks, but with green and white tea I don't use any added sweeteners. Some people don't like the taste of green tea, but white tea is milder and still has the antioxidant benefits. I agree with the people who suggest adding fruit to your water. Cucumber is another good one to try. :drinker:

I like Vitamin Water Zero (no artifical sweetners) and fruity iced teas like ginger peach or ambrosia plum with a packet of Truvia in it.

I allow myself a sugar free Rockstar energy drink (in the cute pink can - with a straw!) a few times a week. I love these and will drink one everyday if I don't watch myself. I try and be good because even though it is sugar free, I know it isn't very good for me.

The rest of the time I drink plain ole water.

I drink green tea. I get the real stuff from an organic health food store.

I like PC's sparkling fruit juices. But only as a once-in-a-while treat when you're tired of water. My favourites are apple, peach mango, and cranberry pomegranite. They're so yummy and fizzy, and a great substitute when you're craving pop they come in a small redbull sized can. Plus it has all real ingredients and the only thing added is a little vitamin c and (of course) bubbly carbon dioxide. My boyfriend and I have been substituting them for coke for a while now, it's the first thing I reach for in my fridge when I come home from a hot day out because sometimes I just want something fizzy.
