Registered Nurse Here; You need to increase your intake of liquid, water, tea, coffee, whatever you prefer to drink, (unless alcohol) simple increase the amount. Your urine is concentrated due to lack of fluid, common occurrence. But just keep that fluid intake up to adequate levels. Recommendations are 6 to 8 glasses of 8oz. everyday. And more if your very active and out in the heat or cold. Thanks for the opportunity to address your interesting question. Now Don't Worry and Be Happy

Are you on any medications? Sometimes medications can make it turn colors. Light yellow is good, means you are well hydrated. Darker urine is not good, the ice tea color could be blood in the urine, I would get a urine test to rule out blood and/or bacteria/infection.

The pigment in urine that gives it its' colour is called urochrome. The iced tea colour is actually very common and quite normal. It just means your urine is very concentrated. It's nothing to be worried about. Healthy urine can actually range in colour from dark yellow to almost colourless. It is 95% water and 5% solids. You may not be getting enough water if it's dark! However, if you think the colour could be blood, you should seek medical attention immediately.
