Neither. It should have "Sweet" in front of it. I found this from Grammarist

"Iced Tea" is what I say, but I also prefer "sweet" be in front of it.

Iced tea. And while I live in the south I don't ever drink "sweet" tea. I order "regular tea with lemon" and still sometimes get the sweetened version.

I say iced tea but I order "unsweet tea" instead of "unsweetened tea." Inconsistency FTW!

I'm another in the south that never drinks sweet tea. For me it's iced, written and spoken.

I would say Ice Tea also but normally it is Sweet Tea

Written is "iced". Spoken it sounds like "Ice tea. Unsweet please"

I drink unsweetened iced tea. I liked the little tidbit above about ice cream and ice water. I had never thought of it that way. I guess I wouldn't be surprised hearing/seeing more "ice tea" as an alternative. It is kind of awkward to pronounce "iced tea" the proper way.

I want some unsweetened cold black tea. I had some yesterday at my aunt's house and it was good but not strong enough. Today I want to figure out how she made it and make some for myself. She isn't home right now otherwise I would call her...
Does Red Rose make good iced tea?

Sorry folks, but regular tea is just tea, unadultrated with sugar. But it does seem unusual that we say iced tea but never iced water.

Neither. It should have "Sweet" in front of it. I found this from Grammarist Iced tea may or may not be sweetened.

Iced is correct, but sometimes I am guilty of saying ice tea, because I am verbally lazy.

Iced tea is unsweetened, Sweet tea is, well, sweet tea. NEVER Ice Tea. That sounds like a tea slurpee to me!

Written is "iced". Spoken it sounds like "Ice tea. Unsweet please" This. I think that part of the difference in pronunciation is that the D sound is difficult to pronounce so close to the T sound.

For me 'iced' but it sounds like 'ice' when you say it fast because the 'd' and 't' are both pronounced in the same place
