How to make arizona green tea tea bags taste like their iced tea.?

Question

i recently bought arizona green tea bags--figuring brewing my own would be more beneficial health-wise than drinking the bottles (what with the sugar and so forth). but, after brewing their recommended 8 oz. serving, and 3 oz. serving over ice, i've found both to taste rather watery (i'm used to drinking ultra-concentrated coffee, but decided to switch to green tea in the afternoons for the ease of brewing on a short lunch break and the health benefits, but must honestly admit that i know nothing about tea).

i'm assuming adding a packet of splenda and maybe a teaspoon of honey may help--maybe even some milk? but, i really have no idea--i'm a coffee connoisseur, not a tea connoisseur.

any suggestions?

thanks to all.

Answer 1

The company brews the tea and leaves it sitting there for a much longer time, which makes the tea taste more concentrated. Also, the natural sugar they put in the tea concentrates the liquid more than splenda.

I know that some arizona iced teas have ginsing and honey in it, so maybe adding that would help.

Also, don't pour the tea over ice. When the ice melts, it makes the tea more watery. Just chill it in the fridge.

Btw, I think that arizona makes diet iced teas without sugar. I recall seeing it somewhere.
