How long does it take for ice tea to spoil?
Most people would say 1 to 5 days. If the tea is sweetened, then it will be close to 2 days before it does not taste fresh. If the tea is unsweetened, it is said to last a day or so more. However if tea is not sweetened and has a sprig of fresh mint added to it during brewing, it can last 5 days or more.
Personally I can keep regularly brewed sweetened tea up to a WEEK in a covered pitcher in the fridge, and it tastes just FINE. Of course, a restaurant would probably not do this, and their storage containers may not be tightly sealed to keep tea as fresh.
Drinking old tea is not likely harmful as some may think; it just may not taste very good.
