Can somebody please justify the existence of Iced Coffee/Tea?
I just don't get it?

    I love iced coffee @JustPete. I don't like much 'normal' coffee. I haven't tried iced tea though! Hopefully, someone else can comment on iced tea  :)

    @L_Volunteer

    I’m no expert and have only had the fruit flavoured ones but I really like those. It just tastes like tea but with fruit flavours added. I guess like a fruit flavour juice but with less sugar and calories than real fruit juice. :)

    I like both too 

    Liptons iced tea is lovely the lemon or peach or mango flavour so refreshing 

    Totally different to drinking a cup that has gone cold plus no milk in iced tea

    @janer1967 I remember many years ago we made a cup of tea, milk and sugar and all, and put it in the freezer expecting to make iced tea, to find that proper iced tea is in fact very different!!!

    Such an interesting thread! @66Mustang, have you tried bubble tea? I have heard they are flavoured and your response made me think of it  :)

    There's a huge bubble tea trend around where I live and so many shops popping up selling it. I tried once and it was a definite no from me :D

    I don't know how to describe it, I struggle with textures of food so that put me off drinking something with texture and I didn't register the taste. I was completely unaware what bubble tea was so wasn't expecting the tapioca balls and they were chewy and wet and all I could think was that it reminded me of frog spawn and I couldn't drink it after the first sip :D

    I personally, love a lemon ice tea in the summer, particularly during heatwaves, as it’s refreshing. I have also tried a bubble tea and I did enjoy it, however, I still prefer an iced tea.

    My daughter absolutely loves it. Tapioca balls is her favourite one. Not for me though.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
