As you can see, the points in regular sweet tea add up quickly. Use our zero point sweet tea as an alternative to sugar-heavy beverages.
Do Drinks with Sugar Slow Weight Loss?
In fact, research indicates that if your goal is weight loss, one healthy habit to adopt is not drinking calories because the body doesn’t recognize them in the same way as food with calories.
How Do You Sweeten Iced Tea Without Sugar?
Luzianne Tea says this about how to sweeten tea without sugar,
“Plain tea is pleasing, but sweetened tea is sensational! And with all the sweeteners available (both traditional and newly invented) any sweet tooth can be satisfied when it comes to serving a pitcher or a glass of refreshing iced tea.
- Monk fruit is, as the name suggests, fruit-derived. Itโs relatively low-carbohydrate and works well in any tea. Itโs up to 200 times sweeter than sugar, so a little goes a long way.
- Coconut sugar (a low-glycemic sugar), Xylitol (made from vegetable fibers) and Stevia (from a natural leaf) are all considered to be lower in calories and carbohydrates.
- Commercial sweeteners with ingredients like erythritol, aspartame, acesulfame potassium, maltodextrin, sucralose and saccharin contain little or no calories.
While there is some concern about the use of artificial sweeteners, ultimately they save calories and most doctors believe they are safe in limited amounts.
Is Unsweetened Iced Tea Good For Weight Loss?
Tea is a great drink option during weight loss. Plain, brewed tea is calorie-free, making it a clear winner.
Many teas include caffeine, which can increase fat burning and metabolism, and catechins (especially in green tea) shown to improve weight loss, according to a study published in “The Journal of Nutrition” in December 2008 according to Living Strong.
Cutting the calories by foregoing the sugar in regular sweet tea, combined with watching your calorie intake, may help in meeting your weight loss goals and improve your health.
What’s The Healthiest Iced Tea?
“According to the Tea Association of the USA, about 75 to 80 percent of the tea consumed in the U.S. is iced tea.” Americans drank more than 1.8 billion gallons of ready-to-drink iced tea in 2018, making it one of the most widely sold drinks says Consumer Reports.
A simple and inexpensive solution to bottled teas to simply brew your own sugar free iced tea.

Create a simple syrup like we do in the recipe below. Simple syrup is sugar or sweetener that’s been heated and dissolved in water.
How Much Stevia Does It Take To Sweeten A Gallon Of Tea?
