I drink 2 gallons of sweet tea a week and this is exactly how I make it.

They clean up better than what a heavy coffee drinker suffers.Good God, I can only imagine what that does to your teeth!
Do you know how much farther one can extend their tongue when the teef ain't in the way?

Good point.Yeah, but what shape are they in?
I know four children who had to have baby teeth pulled because their mom put sweet tea in their bottle. Rotted their teeth out in no time and I'm pretty sure their teeth were brushed daily at least once.
Don't mind me, I'm just an anti-sweet tea advocate. The thought of sugar in my tea makes me cringe and I grew up on the super sweet concentrated stuff (with plenty of dental fillings to prove it)!
I've only every had one cavity in my life, Bubba has one in his baby tooth, and I'm not sure about Bob.I have to take Bubba to the dentist tomorrow morning. He injured his tooth yesterday morning by chomping down on a piece of crispy thick bacon. He won't let me near enough to see if it is cracked, or what else may be going on with it.
I'll be damned if I'm giving up bacon in my house, though.
I hope everyone realizes that adding Splenda or some other sugar substitute is FAR worse for you than adding regular sugar or honey. You are better off having the white sugar or even better just honey, versus all the pure chemicals in sugar substitutes. Forget about what drinking gallons of tea a day is doing to you.....it's the chemicals in the sugar substitutes that I would be more concerned about.

Not true. Sugar is a no no in my house. My hubs is a diabetic. So everything is either sour or fake sugar.
I don't drink sweetened tea usually so it's not an issue for me most times. But even when I do I use fake sugar. The difference...30 pounds of fat off my ass. Fake Sugar FTW.

I do mine in the microwave, as well. But, I use my 2 Qt Pyrex measure cup, fill it with 1QT of water, add 8 small tea bags. Micro for 8 mins and remove bags. Add 4 TB of sugar. And then add ice to the 2 Qt mark. It is ready to drink right away. We go through the whole amount every day, so I make it daily.

The Parent probably put the Tea in the kids night-time bottle, and let the kid sleep with it. Laziness I'm sure.Yeah, but what shape are they in?

Doesn't iced tea have caffeine in it? I'd stick a needle in my eye before I'd give a child caffeine.

You can use caffeine free tea bags. I just don't think it tastes as good.

Most fruit teas don't have caffeine and also a lot of regular teas have non-caffeinated versions. Most of the time I made tea is a combo of a couple of fruit tea bags and a couple of regular tea bags. For regular tea, my favorite is Luzianne. Lipton to me is too bitter.
I have an iced tea machine but rarely use it. I think the flavor is better when you make sun tea.

Ok good. Those midgets are hopped up enough on life as it is, the idea of them with a lot of caffeine scares me.
Too true.
I usually use Luzianne decaffeinated family size tea bags (with two tea bags of fruit tea) and can't notice the difference to the ones with caffeine.

I drink Decaf Green Tea. I'm a hyper person also and after my morning coffee, I do not drink caffeine for the rest of the day.
