1. Must have sweet and sour
If I go to Chik Fil A a good choice is 1/2 lemonade 1/2 tea

2. That's how a lot of places in Ontario did it...
I was up there for a few months (years ago), and whenever i ordered sweet iced tea with lemon, it was always made with about half lemonade!

I would have never thought of that, but it was pretty yummy.

6. Voted #3 +plug for a great tea
Only slightly off topic but I suspect there will be more than a few tea-lovers wander through this thread, it is my hope to pass this delightful tea to any and all who would have an interest in trying it.

Tahitian Blend.
I ran across this tea at one of my hometown's fine restaurants. I was highly anticipating our salads and eventual lamb-chops when the waitress brought us our beverages: Tahitian Blend Iced Tea. All conversations shifted after that first sip, "OMG have you ever...???!" I guess I could liken it to living in a black and white world and suddenly discovering COLOR for the first time!

I am by no means a tea connoisseur but I know a good thing when I drink it, Tahitian Blend Tea is perhaps the best beverage I have come across in my 53 years PERIOD. The best way I could describe the taste is that it is like a combination of exotic aromatic flowers! I kid you not, there were 4 of us at that table and we all raved on happily throughout the entire meal about our discovery. Our waitress informed us that this tea often has that affect on first time drinkers.

I tracked down the supplier of Tahitian Blend, here is the link: http://www.barnesandwatson.com/
They have other teas I have yet to sample so I can give no accounting of them but if you ever want to experience heaven on earth, order up their Tahitian Blend and serve it chilled.

8. no lemon
I mean I'll take the lemon if I have to of course, I'm a lover not a fighter :)

I like sweet tea with a little mint.
