Diet Arizona Green Tea

The ingredients for the real deal Arizona Zero Calorie green tea are: Premium Brewed Green Tea Using Filtered Water, Honey, Citric Acid, Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C), Natural Flavors, Sucralose, Acesulfame Potassium, Ginseng Extract.

If you’d like to make your own diet version, simply substitute the sugar for zero calorie sweetener instead. As you can see, they still use honey as an ingredient, so we don’t recommend substituting that.
