Has anyone tried making iced tea with carbonated water?

Question

I am trying to cut cokes out of my diet but I miss the carbonation! Has anyone tried this? Any special brand recommendations? Thanks!

Answer 1

When you heat carbonated water to make tea it kills the carbonation.  Trader Joes has good bottled iced tea.  Or try Izze or other fruit juice sodas.  They are carbonated but made only with fruit juice and no added sugars.  You can take a strong tea and add carbonated water but it will just taste watered down.
