I am going to have to try that recipe now

― Curt1s Stephens, Monday, 30 April 2007 03:19 (sixteen years ago) link

and then you become solar energized

also, 10 tea bags for 4 cups of water!! it is possible that i am too poor/frugal for this (tea and water are the only things i drink! and beer/alcohol obv sometimes). are these regular orange pekoe bags that are usually good for a 2-cup regular pot of tea? or, like, 1-cup twinnings bags?
tea.

I think I like the sound of proper Southern sweet tea from that recipe. Huh.

― Trayce, Monday, 30 April 2007 03:53 (sixteen years ago) link

but seriously, thank you guys.

I've definitely posted it before, but it keeps coming up. :)

And incidentally, Cooks' Illustrated determined that Lipton teabags made the best and roundest iced-tea flavor of the mainstream brands. My problem is that last time I bought a box, the bags were individually wrapped in paper which is a huge waste. New mission: to find Lipton teabags boxed up without their jackets on. (Yes, Robyn, they are individual regular tea bags.)

tea.

i buy president's choice teabags that just all come in a box together, so no needless packaging. but i think pres choice is just cdn? it rocks btw. i am kind of annoyed with twinnings b/c they are now using this shiny thicker paper for the individual teabag wrappers and i have a bad feeling about its recycleability.

i know that loose tea is the best way to go though, esp for green tea, but for quality in general. but it is usually expensive. this tea talk is making me feel like a britisher.

Haha, yes. I don't think yr supposed to use any GOOD tea for iced, it's just a different beast than a hot cuppa -- you're adding so many other flavors, and serving it cooled, which makes things taste different too. No reason to use a premium brand.

xposty DUDES I am totally coming to that wedding, I love bonfires.

Luzianne >>>> Lipton

― Curt1s Stephens, Monday, 30 April 2007 05:42 (sixteen years ago) link

I wonder what green iced tea tastes like? It is so bitter. Hm... iced jasmine tea. That would be awes.

laurel i think salada comes in a big box of not-individually wrapped bags.

dick in a box has ruined/lol-ed a lot of things for me, but 'fucking tea in a can' is comedy

i drank some of that itoen tea in a plastic bottle when i was in nyc! but it was not rose flavoured. it was just straight up green uh both good and bad and i almost finished it before i could not deal with it anymore.
i like that black oolong can. (i don't like drinking from cans though!)
