A Grande (16 fl oz) Starbucks Iced Black Tea has 0 calories, 0 g sugar and about 25 mg of caffeine. Every size from Tall to Trenta lists 0 calories, because the standard recipe is just brewed tea and ice with no sweetener. Lemonade, syrup or milk are where calories come in.
What's in an Iced Black Tea
Starbucks shakes premium black tea with ice. The standard recipe lists no syrup, so it is unsweetened. It comes in Tall, Grande, Venti (24 fl oz) and Trenta (30 fl oz). Size details are in our Starbucks cup sizes guide.
Milk and customization swaps
Swaps are shown as the direction of change against the standard recipe. Starbucks' product pages don't publish per-drink numbers for each swap, so check the Starbucks app or our calculator for an estimate of your exact order.
| Swap | Effect on calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Add Classic syrup | Adds calories and sugar | Each pump adds sugar (estimate below) |
| Make it a tea lemonade | Adds calories and sugar | A Grande tea lemonade has 50 calories, per Starbucks |
| Sugar-free vanilla or a sugar-free sweetener | Adds almost no calories | Sweet without sugar |
| Add a splash of milk | Adds a few calories | Not part of the standard drink |
Syrup pumps and calories
The Iced Black Tea has no syrup by default. Starbucks doesn't list nutrition per pump on its product pages. The figure most sites quote is about 20 calories and 5 g of sugar for one pump of a standard syrup such as Classic or Vanilla. Treat that as an estimate (unverified), not a Starbucks number. Sugar-free vanilla syrup adds almost no calories. For pump counts across the menu, see our Starbucks syrup calories per pump guide.
Lower-calorie ways to order
- Order it as it comes: 0 calories.
- If you want it sweet, ask for 1 pump of Classic.
- Choose the plain tea over a tea lemonade.
- See more light options in our Starbucks drinks under 100 calories guide.
