This southern girl loves her iced tea. Which I used to make by boiling up a simple syrup( sugar ,water, Lipton) I've since switched to the decaf and Splenda. Which is fine when the tea is pre made. Like the way they serve it up at restaurants. My problem is at home. It's not the same any suggestions

Just throwing this out there, wonder if an Ice tea maker might make a better brew. I know what you mean about making it at home. Or if you try another sweetener like the truvia.

Some sweeteners break down when heat is applied...maybe this is the problem?

Try stevia liquid form

Snaple half and half sells a diet tea, only 10 caloirs… its good, but if find any thing other let me know

Snaple also has a diet tea with peach. I actually liked it until the cold started wearing off.

I'm an iced tea junkie also..I drink Diet Decaf iced tea made by Swiss. I thought the snapple ones have caffiene in them...

I too am a southern girl who loves her sweet tea! I make my tea in a pot on the stove- old school lol, I put Splenda in the pitcher, not good at measuring, so somewhere btwn .5 & 1 in from bottom, then I pour the hot tea in & stir. Add some ice & cold water to top it off. I make it all the time & everyone loves it, they don't even notice it's Splenda

Nestea Zero. This is a Coke product. Probably not available south of the border tho. I'm pretty sure it's only available in Canada. I'm enjoying one right now.

I work for Nestlé. We have 3 brands of iced tea. Nestea, Sweet Leaf, and Tradewinds. They all have diet teas, though none are caffeine free. Tradewinds also has an unsweetened tea that you could sweeten with Splenda or liquid stevia to your liking.

Oh it is yummy.

Don't know a recipe for you, I'm a Yank but I can add this link for you to check out some really cool KINDS of tea, as well as accessories. www.republicoftea.com. P.S.- I'm a Yankee proud and true, but have always longed for this Sweet Tea ya'll speak of.

I'm sorry, I can't get that link to work, my editing feature won't work to fix it. Just google , republic of tea. Sorry.

Splenda is supposed to tolerate heat - you can use it to bake. I've used it to make a sugar-free apple crisp w/oatmeal and pecan topping.

I like Jasmin Green Tea but it's hard to find. It has a light, refreshing, flowery taste to it. Tazo Tea makes an iced green tea that is awesome too. The tea bags are very large so they are perfect to make a whole pitcher of tea. Then I sweeten w/splenda and add lemon slices. I can pour it into my Water bottle to take to work. :-)
