![]() One year I gave my sister a handpainted Russian teaset from St. hand painted ones-have since I was a little girl my Cuban grandma turned me onto it. Isn't it great that everybody loves makin tea-hot and cold?! I collect teasets-esp. Maybe that wouldn't have the same health issue. I love lemon but I just read something that said never add lemon to tea for health reasons, but it didn't say why & I didn't want to buy the report, so I'm searchin the net for info and that's how I wound up here! I also have added a little bit of Koolaid lemonade mix to flavor it when I didn't have any liquid or the real fruit. If it's a little strong or weak, then I might add a little juice to flavor it-like mango or peach, cranberry, etc. Since I use filtered water, there's no sediment. Amazing-it's the sediment in the tap water that makes it cloudy. I can add ice cubes to my concentrate and it doesn't get cloudy. Only use glass, no metal so there's no leaching. I agree, a coffee maker makes great tea concentrate and filtered water tastes the best. I add it after I take the bag out, dissolve it, then I'll pour it into a 10-12 oz glass for iced & put ice in to fill the glass. I also can't use white sugar cuz of arthritis (it's poison), so I use either a little raw sugar or dark brown sugar just to take the edge off. ![]() I've always been a tea addict but I can't take the caffeine, so I use naturally decaffeinated for both. I'm southern but my dad was English so I like ice tea and hot tea. I never use tap water as it leaves a bad after taste from minerals. Using loose tea gives more body to the tea, a almost creaminess. I have used loose teas of all different varieties, most take 4 tablespoons to the gallon of water. I also LOVE to serve my tea over crushed ice with sliced Meyer lemons and plenty of mint from my garden. I prefer to add mint to the jar after adding the cool water, but not everyone loves mint as much as me. My family members add lemon slices or juice and/or mint when they serve up their ice filled glasses. At that point I transfer it to my gallon size tupperware pitcher and refrigerate it. Remove tea bags, do not squeeze, add 1 cup of sugar stir to dissolve. Add 2 quarts boling or almost boiling purified water, let steep for 5 minutes, then fill the jar to an inch from the top with cool water and let it sit for at least 1 hour. For Mock Sun Tea I use a gallon sized glass jar, 18-20 regular sized lipton or Red Rose tea bags. How I make iced tea depends on the quantity I need. Goodness, I never thought iced tea meant so many different things to so many people. It doesn't keep forever, and it doesn't freeze solid, so alter the amounts appropriately for what you can use. I like both tastes, but you can't add sugar to a cold liquid, so I make a simple syrup with a whole lemon, washed and sliced, a cup or less of sugar, and maybe 2/3 as much water as sugar, plus mint leaves if I have any: Throw the water and sugar on the stove, bring to a boil, add lemon and mint and kill the heat, and let it cool. You can filter it out as you add it to the pitcher (use a coffee filter or a clean paper towel, possibly a double layer).Īs for sweetness, it depends on whether my brother-in-law (sweet-tea drinker) and/or my sister (lemon only) will be around. I'd use an ounce of tea for a quart of water (plus a little, since the tea itself will grab about a quarter cup of water and you don't want to squeeze out the tea- bitter!).
