Lemonade Iced Tea Not A Good Pairing

[eugenepark]

Gold Peak has 50 grams of High Fructose corn syrup (garbage) per 12 ounce serving. That's more than a Coke.

I do sun tea and put a splash of "Simply Lemonade" brand in there. Ends up being < 10gms and it's real juice, sugar in 20 ounces.

You must have it mixed up with a different tea. Gold Peak has 36g per serving and the ingredients are: Ingredients: BREWED TEA (FILTERED WATER, BLACK TEA LEAVES), SUGAR, LEMON JUICE FROM CONCENTRATE, CITRIC ACID, NATURAL FLAVORS.


But back to the thread topic - I have never had any other drink cause this problem so it's fair to blame this specific drink. I've had coffee, cola, spiced black tea, seltzer water and many other drinks while smoking a pipe and had no issues.

Seltzer water?

I’ve had this issue with swilling Gatorade while smoking, post-workout. Both the Gatorade and the tobacco tasted terrible!

For me, tea is the default, either black tea or hibiscus herbal tea. Both sweetened with just a very small amount of honey. Coffee is good too, especially with burley, and I still think water is king.

Seltzer water?

Like Perrier or Topo Chico.. bubbly water...

Generally i Drink green tea or Earl Gray with Va/Per , Dark Strong Tea with English/Balkan
Coffee with Burley and Dark Fired Kentucky . Thanks for the tip to remove lemon from the equation

Thats odd, I had a similar experience today but with the Pure Leaf Lemon Tea and D&S Trafalgar. Ive been smoking that the last couple of days with no issues but today got a random ashy taste mid bowl. Seemed too that it took awhile for the flavors to get right. Maybe the lemon they add....interesting ?...will test and observe. Ive had no issues with their sweet tea though.

I have never liked tea with tobacco, I think it's the tannins that I do not enjoy while smoking.

I think you have to drink tea that is made in a pot rather than in a plant somewhere. I know a number of people who drink Arnold Palmer's and love them. Not being a connoisseur of lemonade I don't care for it very much but folks really enjoy it.
