Sugar-Free Flavored Tea On the Cheap

A glass of iced tea flavored with sugar free gelatin.I recently began to brew my own iced tea. But I missed the flavors that I got with Peace Tea. If you brew your own tea but would like some flavor, I discovered a cool and cheap way to flavor it.

In an 8 oz. glass of chilled tea, put 1 tsp. of sugar free gelatin. I started out with 1/4 tsp. at a time to make sure it was added gradually. But if you want it a bit sweeter, you can add a 5th 1/4 tsp.

I used raspberry today and next is peach, then lemon, blackberry; any flavors I want I can now do. I figure each glass is about .01 for the tea. I get the 100 for $1.00 at the Dollar Tree. It gives me about 18 glasses per 20 bags. It's about .06 for the flavor. Add a .02 packet of generic Splenda and you have a glass of good tea for under .10. It's a good idea not to make this in bulk but by the glass. That way, you drink it before it becomes gelatin, for real!

I used to pay .78 to 1.11 for 3 glasses. N-JOY!

An added bonus to this tip is that the gelatin boost protein consumption for those needing that and it is good for cartilage rebuilding for arthritis sufferers!
