Iced teas can be a delicious and refreshing summer drink, but check the nutritional information panel as the sugar content may give you a fright!
Serve sizes
These vary. A 500ml bottle may say it’s either one or two serves, but once the bottle is opened, chances are you’ll drink it all.
We’ve compared the sugar content per serve to 1 teaspoon of sugar (5g – in line with New Zealand’s official food measurements*).
