If I heat powder mix-made iced tea, will it taste like regular tea?!


Question: If I heat powder mix-made iced tea, will it taste like regular tea!?
I know this is kind of a strange question, but I'd rather see if anyone knows for sure before I go to the microwave and try it!. I don't want to waste my precious drink!

Iced tea is supposed to just be regular tea but served cold, right!? But that's if you make tea the real way!. The process has been simplified by making that powder mix stuff that you stir in water!. But, if I heat that, will it be like drinking regular tea!?

It's really cold out today (snowed over 7" by my house in PA) and I want to have some hot tea!. But I don't have tea, I just have iced tea!. I was on the phone with my girlfriend and I asked her, and she said I should ask on Yahoo! Answers!. So here I am!.

NOTE: The iced tea mix I use is Crystal Light!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
If you want hot tea then by all means go ahead and do this!. It will not taste like a fresh brewed cup of tea though!. No powdered tea will ever taste like the fresh thing!.

Warmed instant tea will taste the same as cold instant tea only it will be hot!. In the same way freshly brewed tea that has been iced tastes just like hot brewed tea only cold and refreshing!.

Personally I would heat the water 1st and then add the powder, but either way is probably fine!.

I can't wait for our first snowfall here in southern MI!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sorry to disappoint you, but no, it will not taste like real tea!.
However; it may taste okay heated, but it won't taste like real tea, it will taste like heated Crystal Light!.

I would heat the water first, then add the mix!.!.!.!.just like making cocoa or tea, always heat the water first!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
