I know there is no tea in these drinks.
Just for the record, I would like to make sure everyone knows that there is no tea is a Long Island Iced Tea. It is a very strong, alcoholic cocktail. But since so many people who visit this site are looking for Long Island recipes, I thought I should oblige. The basic recipe is just equal portions of vodka, gin, triple sec, rum and tequila. Add some Cola and that's it. There are some variations though:
Version 1 (traditional)
1/2 oz vodka
1/2 oz gin
1/2 oz triple sec
1/2 oz light rum
1/2 oz tequila
2 oz sour mix
Mix with ice and then top with Cola.
Version 2
2 cups ice cubes
1 ounce vodka
1 ounce gin
1 ounce white rum
1 ounce white tequila
1/2 ounce triple sec
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup Cola, or to taste
2 lemon wedges
Shake everything but cola and wedges in a cocktail shaker. Pour into glasses and top with Cola, and a lemon wedge.
Version 3
3 oz Triple Sec
1 oz Light Rum
1 oz Dark Rum
1 oz Vodka
1 oz Gin
1 oz Vermouth
3 oz Sour Mix
6 oz Cola
1/2 oz Tequila
Ice
Combine everything and serve with ice.

Also a favorite drink of mine. Here is what I found out with very little research (mostly I don't ask, just drink what I like and people keep giving me what I like. :) )
1 part vodka
1 part tequila
1 part rum
1 part gin
1 part triple sec
1 1/2 parts sweet and sour
1 splash of coke (I'm sure that this last one is optional)
Mix over ice in a glass, pur into a shaker and give one brisk shake to create a touch of fizz at the top, garnish with a lemon.
Drink responsibly.
Love as always,
Sebastian

That's because everyone makes them different...it's probably the one drink that everyone has their own house recipe for.
When I went to bartending school this was a big deal.
Our instructor was about as annoyed as you sound about nobody knowing how to make a decent long island iced tea.
His answer to us was that everyone puts in way too much cola...and don't use coke, use pepsi.
1oz white rum
1oz vodka
1oz gin
1oz silver tequila
1oz cointreau
1/2 oz sugar syrup
squeeze of 1/2 lemon
dribble just enough cola to get the color right
Cheers.
