I have in front of me a jar of "unsweetened Nestea (r) lemon tea mix". Below the brand name, it says "Add your own sweetener", and further down, "new natural lemon flavor". On the back, in fine print, the list of ingredients begins with "corn syrup solids". Instant tea follows in second place, followed by citric acid, gum arabic, and "natural lemon flavor". So I was stupid enough to buy a jar of an "unsweetened" product whose primary ingredient is a sweetener. But I'm curious ... how is it that they can get away with that? -=- Andrew Klossner (decvax!tektronix!orca!andrew)

If you must drink instant tea, try Lipton's lemon flavored instant. Ingredients are: instant tea, malto dextrin ( is that a sweetener?), citric acid, natural lemon flavor, monocalcium phosphate. Those aren't great but at least instant tea is first. On the other hand, brewing real tea isn't that much work and it tastes a lot better

Then put a teaspoon or other piece of metal in it. Pour in the hot tea. The ice will melt, the tea will cool down, and the metal spoon gets its temperature changed instead of causing the glass to crack. (It's real neat to watch moisture in the air condense on the spoon.) I am not an expert on physics/heat transfer/thermodynamics. I just know that this works.
