well in first 3 both are ok but "IN" is more popular.
5. I want to drink ice tea.
1. He works at/in the library.
2. He works at/in the town hall.
3. He works at/in the hospital.
(Which preposition do I have to use? Are both OK? Which one is popular?)
4. I want to drink iced tea.
5. I want to drink ice tea.
6. I want to drink an iced tea.

I would disagree with Elvira, favoring 4 over 5.
"Iced tea" would indicate tea with ice in it, while "ice tea" suggests cubes of frozen tea to me.
6 is also good, but it indicates a limitation of one serving or glass of iced tea. It is just more specific than 4.
I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.

Yes, PsyDAG is correct about the difference between "iced" and "ice" in this phrasing.
