Wagamama Peach Iced Tea

Wagamama peach iced tea costs £4.50 and carries 52 kcal, the lightest flavoured drink on the menu and the one this site recommends beside hot food more than any other. Vegan and gluten free marked, published price, no asterisks anywhere.

The numbers are the story: 13 g of sugar where a coke carries 35, and 52 kcal total, which makes it the rare sweet drink that costs almost nothing from the day. Peach over black tea keeps a slight tannic dryness under the fruit, so it refreshes rather than coats, the quality that makes it the menu's best chilli companion.

Sweetness is what capsaicin respects, and this glass delivers it at a third of a cola's spend, which is why the buldak and firecracker pages of this site keep pointing here. Beyond the heat argument it suits the teppanyaki plates and the lunch boxes, and it is the drink for the diner who wants flavour without the sugar audit.
