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.
