Absolutely, as does low carb drinks, juices, coffee. If you think about what these drinks are made up of, they are mostly water. You cannot contaminate the benefits of water by adding a teabag. So definately, one cup of tea in the morning, afternoon and evening and you're already half way to the recommended 8x8 per day. You can also assume that most vegetables, salads, pastas and meals have a certain amount of water in them and this all goes towards your bodys water intake as well. Hope this helps - mums a nurse :0)
Yes, tea counts towards your daily fluid intake, although if the tea contains caffeine it may act as a diuretic and dehydrate you. Herbal tea, however, is very beneficial to your health and can both hydrate you and provide antioxidants.

It certainly can be.

Absolutely. A daily recommended fluid intake can consist of any fluid (except alcohol) - so tea, coffee, fruit juice, milk & water are all acceptable, so long as the coffee & tea is in moderation.
Yes, so long as you drink the tea straight, without sweetener, tea can be counted towards your normal fluid intake.Tea contains caffeine, and there are a lot of sources that claim that caffeine is a diuretic and thus caffeine-containing beverages "do not count" towards your daily fluid intake. These claims are misleading--scientific evidence suggests that this diuretic effect of caffeine happens only at high doses, far above the amount in a single cup of tea--and furthermore than people develop a tolerance to this effect, so that caffeine has no diuretic effect for people who regularly consume it.Be careful if you sweeten your tea, however. Sweetened drinks can be dehydrating. It's good to limit your sugar intake anyway.
Drinking iced tea, which often contains caffeine, can act as a mild diuretic, increasing urine production. Additionally, the fluid intake from the tea itself contributes to your body's need to eliminate excess liquids. If you're consuming large amounts of iced tea, the combination of caffeine and increased fluid intake can lead to more frequent urination. It's a normal response of the body to maintain fluid balance.
The general recommendation for water is at least 64 oz. per day. Any other drinks (soda, milk, tea, etc.) can be added onto that.
Rooibos tea is naturally caffeine-free, which generally makes it less likely to cause frequent urination compared to caffeinated beverages. However, individual reactions can vary, and some people may experience increased urination due to the fluid intake itself or other ingredients in the tea. If you notice frequent urination after consuming rooibos tea, it may be worth monitoring your overall fluid intake and consulting a healthcare professional if concerned.
Hibiscus tea is known to have diuretic properties, which can increase urine production. Dark urine in the morning can be caused by dehydration overnight, leading to more concentrated urine. While hibiscus tea itself may not directly cause dark urine, increased fluid intake from the tea could potentially exacerbate dehydration if not enough water is consumed throughout the day. It is important to monitor hydration levels and consider adjusting fluid intake accordingly.
C.S. Lewis was known to enjoy drinking black tea, particularly with milk and sugar. He often referred to tea as a staple and comforting part of his daily routine.
