Not all green iced tea is created equal—compared to bottled teas, you can get up to 90 percent more of the healthy antioxidants found in green tea when you brew your own using tea bags. Bottled teas are also commonly filled with unwanted sugars and artificial flavors, and, since bottled teas do not carry a deposit, they often end up in landfills.

To make your own iced tea to go, pour 2 cups of boiling water over 2-3 green tea bags and let it sit for about 4 minutes. Then pour the tea over ice. Fill a reusable bottle to take it on the go at just 36 cents per serving, compared to nearly $2 for some bottled teas. If you don’t like the taste of green tea, try flavored teas, such as Salada’s Pomegranate Berry or Strawberry.
