Question for the Veterans

Ok, here is a question for you veterans.  I am dying for a glass of iced tea.  I'm pretty sure I can have the decaffenieted (SP) kind, but can I sweeten it with something like Sweet & Low or Splenda?  Or is the tea completely and totally out of the question?  Thanks.

Yep decaf tea.  Sweetened with Equal, sweet & low, splenda, or another kind of sweetener you like.  I like sweet & low in tea.  Always have for some reason... 

Ok, so I just did my "Bow Chicka Wow Wow" dance because that just made my day!  I too love it sweetened with sweet & low.  Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love "sweet" tea, but I know that it will be just as good with sweet & low.  Thanks so much.  Maybe I can get my fluid intake in better knowing that.

We make regular decaf tea, sweetened with splenda and then add DaVinci Rasberry Syrup to it!  RJ loves it!

Yee-Haw - I can't wait to get home and experiment.  Wonder how many different flavors I can concoct with the Crystal Light and Wylers SF mixes I have at home.  You all must not keep these little nuggets all to yourselves anymore.  This is the kind of information that can keep us newbies going.  I'm already drooling at the thought of having a nice, tall, sweating, glass of iced tea tonight.  Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!

I like to put the lemonade CL in mine, tastes like good old lemony sweet tea, MMMMMMMM  Also like SF peach syrup to make peach tea.

Tea is great for you! Especially when you go through the phases of hating water- even flavored! I love the Milos tea you can get from Walmart in the milk case. It comes in a gallon already mixed with Splenda. It says Milos sweet tea sweetned with splenda.Very good!

Milo's is Super YUMMY!!!!!!

Wendy, Kroger sells chai tea bags.  Here is what I like to do with them:  steam up my water in the little boiler pot at work.  Pour the ho****er in on the tea bag. Let it steep, add some Labrada Lean Body vanilla (Used to use Micellar Milk...)  or some Hood Calorie Countdown.  You would best be served by using some vanilla protein ready to drink instead of the hood calorie countdown right now probably...  or some half & half...  anyway, add a pack of splenda.  Its hot, and good for your tummy. Do you notice that your tummy does better with warm drinks?  Mine cannot do cold drinks in the mornings.  You can add some protein powder to it...  I read of someone who added something to the chai tea...  I think it was the Vanilla Cinnamon IDS brand. But I don't do that...  sounds good though.

HI I like my decafe tea with splenda, tastes like regular sugar, and I like sweet tea. Never could handle Equal, Sweet -n-low, but splenda.  I take it to the hospital with me plus some brown sugar for that stuff they call oatmeal.  Plus I make sure they give me decafe tea as I'm allergic to caffeine.  You can also make homemade lemonade with splenda.  Here's an easy recipe for the lemonade.  Gallon of water, one and a half cups of lemon juice, and 3 cups of splenda.  Stir and serve over ice. Another way to get in your water.  Plus lemonade keeps kidney stones from forming.  Unfortunately I didn't make much of it since September, and I have been having 4-6 stones a month.  Both kidneys are full of stones, that are from calification deposits from my chemo.  But for the past few months, I couldn't handle lemonade.  Now I have some made in my fridge that is made from Crystal Lite.  Pink.  It doesn't make my pouch hurt so much like the yellow was doing.

Enjoy.  Kathy
