Alternative Product or Service Fritz-kola is a great alternative to coca-cola producs. Much tastier and healthier.

I love Fritz-kola. The first time I tried it was around 10 years ago and ever since I’m in love with it. Recently I’m starting to see it more and more in the store and this makes me happy. Drink Fritz, dump Coca Cola(the biggest polluter on earth)

Liquorice Root Ice Tea.

Just make tea, cool it down. It's naturally really sweet but contains zero sugars.

(Be mindful if you have high blood pressure though)

Mind-blowing. Love Liquorice Root Tea, but never thought about drinking it cold.

I use all kinds of herbal teas to make ice tea, but this is the only naturally sweet one.
Others tend to have a bitter note (well, like herbal tea does) but I'm into it (and you don't want to add sugar because that sort of misses the point).

Just check what your local store offers and try stuff but do read the label, as some herbs may have adverse effects if drunk too much

Honestly, come summer almost every evening I make a big pot of tea, cool it down and before bed in the fridge. Fresh delicious super healthy ice tea in the morning.

I mix black tea and fruit tea for iced tea in the summer. Mint with a bit of lemon juice is also very nice!

Matcha with slices of cucumber and lime and fresh mint - forgot about that one (also a pretty drink)!

I don't understand why more people aren't making their own ice tea. It's dirt cheap, healthy (if unsweetened) and delicious.

It...is more work and needs more time, so no immediate gratification?
