jgnat: yeah that looked pretty ucky. And I suppose you Do make a good point about steeping....
RF: Hey that works. It's just interesting that you're the second person who mentioned it.
being summer, I like a nice fresh brewed iced tea as opposed to pop.
Black Swan..Good Morning from "The Great White North!!"..Yes,I`m a tea drinker..All ruff,tuff Canadian Mountain Men drink tea!..LOL!!..I usually start my day with a cup of chinese green tea...OUTLAW
RF: Ok, maybe I'm missing something. Why is it that the sweet tea goes along well with being in the south?
Blackswan, I wondered the same thing. I'm a northern transplant (mostly midwest and sometime in Vermont) and the first thing I noticed besides southern accents was the quantities of sweet tea being consumed down here. Sweet tea has to be brewed, a popular tea they use is Luizzanne, sometimes Lipton. If you use try using Nestea powder, then you'll be labeled as a heathen! Here a couple of sites that talk about the history of southern sweet tea:

Ruff tuff Canadian Mountain Men drink tea eh? Chinese green tea...good for the heart and tasty too!
ahh thank you for the links fading! haha, nestea powder. My family are huge tea drinkers and I think if I used that around them they would have kicked me outta the family Lonnnngg before my da, lol. So I can relate somewhat.
Black Swan..You say "EH" just like a Canadian!..Your accent is perfect!!..LOL!!...OUTLAW
Well I think it's in my blood. My grandparents from my mother's side were from Quebec! Eh! (thank you very much) (pepin dit lachance surname)
when I was growing up my mother's answer to everything was a cup of tea. We didn't have medical care (no money), so if we were sick, we got a cup of tea. If we were REALLY sick, we got a cup of tea and an orange.
I am a dedicated iced tea drinker - real black tea, not that flavored crap, and no sugar, but lots of ice. I like Te Java, tastes good and sits in the frig for when I want it. However, a good black tea, loose tea preferred, brewed correctly is wonderful. It's not hard to brew tea correctly. Also I found a good source for good tasting black tea or any other kind of real tea (not that herbal stuff) is the local Indian grocery store - the Lipton they sell is far superior to the Lipton at the regular grocery store.
My wife and I drink a lot of tea. We have a pantry full of it. We have teas by Twinning, Republic of tea, Harney and Sons, Tazo, Stash, Celestial Seasons and others I can't think of right now.
I only drink masculine tea.....he-brews.......I'll get my coat
