I almost don't trust myself to buy ready-to-drink teas any more, as I tend to impulsively purchase those that turn out to be sugary ones and then regret it. But this time, friend Susan B. recommended an RTD tea she found at Aldi, a tea with zero calories and sugar, so I was interested!
I decided to try the watermelon and peach flavors, and I was delighted to find that the first ingredient is actually tea! These are sweetened with stevia leaf extract.
The peach tea had a refreshingly light peach taste, the watermelon tea did indeed taste like watermelon, and I would definitely buy these $1.89 teas again as an occasional treat. Have any of you tried them? Or other flavors of Ryl Co. tea?
I haven’t tried them yet but since there’s a Aldi nearby, I will certainly give them a try!
ReplyDeleteLooking at the labels for those teas, I see that in addition to using stevia leaf extract, they also use monk fruit extract as a sweetener. I don't think I've had anything else sweetened with monk fruit, so I don't know if it has a noticeable taste. For some things, I've noticed that stevia is too sweet for me, but in other items (such as in Simply Light Lemonade), it works just fine.
ReplyDeleteI rarely look at the canned drinks at Aldi even though I shop there weekly. I'm making a note to look for these on my next trip. They would be handy for travel. Thanks for sharing.
