About Tea

Tea costs $1.99 and the unsweet version carries 10 calories, effectively nothing. It is brewed in restaurant rather than dispensed from a concentrate, and both sweet and unsweet are available at every location.

Unsweet tea is the single best swap on the menu for anyone watching calories. Replacing a large soft drink at 390 calories with unsweet tea removes the equivalent of a side order without changing the food.
