NYS Sales Tax on Iced Tea?

Question

Does anyone know what the laws are for sales tax on items such as Arizona Iced Tea in either the 24oz can or 1 Gallon? I have been charged and not charged tax on them.

Ice tea is non taxable in NYS, but if you're at a restaurant, and the waiter serves you any ice tea, then it's taxable. If you were charged tax in a deli or supermarket, you can ask for a receipt and claim a refund from the state.
