Can you drink tea after the expiration date?
If it is a dry tea or tea leaves, no. But, bottled drinks can be sour if the expiration date is several months ago. Turn it over and check the bottom. Many of the companies add sugar, so if anything is floating in it, don't drink it.

How much caffeine in a Snapple diet iced tea?
My local Thai restaurant waitress told me that there was over 100 milligrams in a standard 12oz glass. That's essentially a Red bull.
In summary:
"The amount of caffeine in tea depends on a number of factors, including the method and length of brewing or steeping. Studies also show that leaf location on the tea plant affects content of caffeine in that tea. The youngest leaves, highest on the plant, contain the greatest concentration of caffeine AND antioxidants."
Since Thai tea us usually made from black tea, we can estimate caffeine content based on typical black tea steeping methods (5 minutes at 212°F) to be around 11mg/oz (132mg for a 12 oz glass). Thai tea is usually brewed strong (1 tablespoon tea per 8oz boiling water) which will raise this caffeine estimate, but also uses evaporated milk and the tea itself contains spices besides the actual tea (leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant), which could lower this estimate.
To boil the water, most commonly used is a tea pot. Otherwise, you could use a small pot, and some people put a mug full of water into a microwave to boil, too.

Is taking your tea without sugar good or bad for your health?
There is no problem with taking your tea with or without sugar, except of course for the calorie and carb load that sugar provides. There is no interaction with tea, except to sweeten it. Taking unsweetened tea is OK. Taking tea with real brown sugar (not the spun refined sugar with molasses added) is also OK. Real brown sugar have coarser crystals. Taking tea with refined white sugar is very bad, not because of the tea but because of the sugar. see link Sugar's effect on your health

Does expired tea lose its health benefits?
If it's already steeped and in a liquid form and it's expired, I would not suggest drinking it!
However if it is merely the leaves, and depending on what tea it is and if they have been stored appropriately, the health benefits did not just dissolve into the air. There are still health benefits, although they are 'diluted' slightly, and there's the risk if you did not store them or if they are old enough, there could be mold and other contaminants in the leaves.

Physically they can drink anything. But if you're asking if a dog "likes" to drink to tea I wouldn't know. Yes they can, but it's not good for them. I own a Bichon Frise dog and it is said they love wine. Just for the heck of it my husband (he likes his glass a wine every day) let her have a wee sip. She loved it! She sat there begging for more, but of course we won't make that one a habit! LOL Dogs can drink tea, but they have trouble drinking it from those delicate china tea cups. No opposable thumbs, you know. Dogs can drink tea but dogs with allergies to caffeine could have serious health risks. Artificial sweeteners should not be given to dogs and the artificial sweetener, Xylitol, that is found in gum and candy can kill dogs. No, dogs can no drink tea because it contains caffeine, theobromine, or theophylline, which can be toxic and affect the heart and nervous system..so DONT....even without sugar....DO NOT GIVE THIS TO YOUR DOG
How many tea leaves to a tea spoon?
This answer varies hugely based on the type of tea. Tea comes in many different varieties, which have different sizes of leaf. Also, the leaf can be processed in ways that reduce its size, and it is often rolled or twisted into forms, such as pellets, that make it take up much less space.
A fully-grown tea leaf from a large-leaf variety that is not rolled will be larger than a teaspoon and will awkwardly stretch over the edges of the spoon, making it hard to spoon the leaves of unrolled, large-leaf, whole-leaf tea out using a regular teaspoon.
At the other end of the spectrum, some green and oloong teas can be so tightly-rolled that dozens of leaves (in the form of small pellets) can fit in a single teaspoon. Also, some tea is made of leaf buds, which are much smaller than mature leaves from the tea plant.
So the best answer I can give is...somewhere between less than one and dozens.
For broken-leaf tea, like what is in most tea bags, this question isn't even answerable because the leaf is so cut up that you can't even recognize individual leaves...and such teas are often blends that mix leaves of different sizes.
