Do they not sell ice tea in the UK?
I've lived most of my life in a couple of places in Europe and the stores there have always had a very wide range of ice teas available. I hadn't bought it before in the UK (moved here due to Uni) but today I had a look in my local Asda and I was shocked to find....that I couldn't find any. Is the ice tea as a drink not popular (and hence not sold) in the UK? It just seems so weird to me that I couldn't find it.

Yes, they do sell it in the UK. Maybe try a different supermarket?
whittards do it (well powders, not an actual drink)
Yes - it's not as popular as in Europe though. We drink proper, hot tea over here ya see.

This.
I get the peach stuff from Lidil.
To be fair I had never tried it before going to France, but I'm pretty sure it's easy to find?

I've seen some in Sainsburys!
United Kingdom
Iced tea is becoming a more popular beverage in the United Kingdom, though not replacing hot tea, with milk and sometimes sugar. Lipton sold their carbonated iced tea, similar to the one sold in Belgium, but the drink disappeared from shelves in the mid-1990s. Recently Lipton has returned to general sale of non-carbonated tea, quickly followed by Nestea and Twinings.

Wikipedia is your friend. Use it.
I took a school trip to Belgium/France once and it was amazing 
Here if you look for it - mostly cheap supermarkets. Not many people drink it though. Because it's horrible 
Was that the one that was sold in a pop can back in the 80s. I remember buying a tea drink in a pop can back then but i do not recall the name of it

you bumped a 5 year old thread for some rather irrelevant and unlikely to be answered question
