Lemon Tea

A bottled tea by Snapple called Lemon Tea.

Flavor: There is a mild tea taste, followed by a citrus flavor. It is plain, simple, not complex, no frills. A tea a man can drink without feeling girly.

Suggested Additions: No lemon or sweetener needed, it is there already. Good when chilled. Many hot teas are drunk with sugar and milk. I have been curious about drinking iced teas with sugar and milk, and this one appears to me to be the best option for that experiment, however, I did not try it this time around. Perhaps I will revisit this tea later with my conclusions.

Ingredients: Filtered water, sugar, citric acid, tea, natural flavor. (Note: On the label, green and black teas are listed but in the ingredients list, it just says "tea." Also note that tea is #4 on the list.)

Purpose: I was in the home of one of my massage clients. As I was leaving, I was offered a beverage for the road, since it was such a hot day. I declined, since I had a bottle of something in the car. I was told, "Take a Snapple, or I won't call you again for another massage!" So I took a Snapple. And it was quite good, and quite refreshing. There is a moderate amount of caffeine in black tea, but that did not stop me from dozing off later in the afternoon on the back porch with a cool breeze. I swear this summer is going to feel like a vacation whether I'm on vacation or not.
