Also, I hate those fake "iced teas" that are not really brewed that some restaurants have. :Yuck: I don't even know how they make them - from a chowder or something?
Sometimes Gooch buys some kind of already made iced tea in a jug and wastes the iced tea space in our refrigerator - but that stuff is not good.
I like the idea of sun tea, but why waste all that time when you can just brew it up in your Mr. Coffee Brand Iced Tea Maker?

"Unsweetened" sounds a lot like "Sweetened" through a shitty mic.
It's like sweet tea is the new standard. Ugh.

back when i was addicted to all of the vices that life has to offer, i drank this tea- it's pretty good. fortunately i can now control my former addiction to caffeine but i don't really judge the poor slobs that can't because they have shitty genes and are to be felt sorry for, not mocked.

2. Lift the basket and pour the water into the brewer (that colored lid opens and the basket is under there)
3. Put tea bag in basket and return to the brewer, close lid
4. Put ice in the pitcher (and sugar if desired)
5. Put the pitcher next to the brewer.
6. Push button
7. Wait.

Diet sweet tea sounds like the absolute worst thing ever
Stevia is less sweet than sugar, but still sweet enough.
Worst thing ever is pouring a glass of milk and taking a drink only to discover that it has soured. But this is the tea thread, not the gross old milk thread.

Instead of adding ice, just brew a double batch... (Brew as normal, less ice then refill the reservoir and brew again using the same tea bag(s) again)...this leads to a full pitcher of strong tea. You can then just add ice/water to your cup to your liking. (This works especially well if you have a water dispenser on the fridge because almost no extra work to add water to your cup but the pitcher lasts twice as long.)

If you are an adventurous iced tea person, try my special iced tea recipe. It's a 4:1 ratio of black tea (usually English Breakfast) to orange spice tea.

i found while vacationing in the south that iced tea is sweet tea there. you must specify you want unsweetened or the toothless waiter will bring the gross sweet stuff.
QFT - I was in Knoxville for work about 10 years ago and whenever I would order iced tea and specify for it to be unsweetened the waitress would look at me as if I personally insulted her, kicked her puppy, and took a dump on the Tennessee state flag on my way to the table.

Sweet tea has slowly migrated north though. Even 10 years ago I can't remember very many restaurants or fast food places even having it available in Kansas, but now when you order tea almost anywhere they as if you want sweet or not.

1. Snapple :dunno:
2. Lipton Pure Leaf
3. Whatever is in the carafe that the gas station employees label as freshly brewed iced tea
4. Fountain drink iced tea
5. citrus green tea :Yuck:

I wash mine after each use. Is that poor tea etiquette?
It's just unnecessary. Also, there are a bunch of ridges in the bottom of the basket so it is almost impossible to get really clean.
The one at home I throw in it the dishwasher every 3-4 runs. The one at work I hand wash every 10-15 runs (because we make a lot of tea runs with 3 of us drinking it) and then take it home to the dishwasher every couple months or so.

Most days, yes. She doesn't really drink anything else like coffee or soda. One of the first things she does every morning is make a pitcher of ice tea and drink from a 20 oz cup all day. I'd say she goes through 3-4 per day easily.

Also, I liked to cut up fresh peaches or nectarines and put it in there when I fridge'ed it.
That said, it was pretty sweet at that point and just adds sugar to my diet. I figured I could get benefits of fermentation from eating other veg ferments I do and skipped the kombucha. Also, I found that it is much more of a pain in the ass than other fermentation.

I only like some beers.
Grab a bottle of kombucha next time you're at the store and report back
yeah store ones are awesome but if you drink it often enough its pretty ridic on the price especially when its so damn easy to make.:D nice, I still brew it. You buy it from the store or not? Because if you need a scoby I have one to give you.
i buy it from the store. i tried to make it before, looked iffy, then i neglected it for a few weeks. now it's just sitting there, menacingly :ohno:
i like the store one, i think it tastes like apple soda/beer. definitely cleans out the colon well. how does your home brewed one compare?
and you better keep that scoby wet and under control because it can multiply and also can get huge :horrorsurprise:

well if its fermentation that grosses you out I don't get it because that happens with lots of things including beer or wine.Do you like beer Mrs Gooch?
Also buy one at the store and I'd bet you'd like it

GTs is the most common I see around here. Gingerade and citrus are both fairly mild...trilogy, gingerberry, and cosmic cranberry are a little more bold. Pro tip: the lids are not sealed liquid-tight so don't shake it and make sure the person doing check out handles it with care BC if they just slide it across the scanner and roll it down to get bagged it will explode and make a huge sticky mess

Vinegar. You need to know going into this that you will experience, at absolute very least, a small amt of vinegar hiding behind whatever flavor you are being sold.
Go find the cashew milk, rice milk, etc. If you find that and saw a bunch of gluten free stuff on your way to that cooler, you are in the right place. Most look like a snapple drink.

This is starting to sound gross again.
I mean the bacteria (or yeast or whatever) is literally just sitting at the bottom of the bottle and it kind of looks like someone sneezed into the bottle. But somehow you can drink it without noticing the texture. Not sure how that's possible but just drink the whole bottle, snot included. That's the stuff that's good for your gut.

OK so like...yay or nay?
Well, I would drink it again I guess. But actual fruit juice would taste better. So what is the point of drinking this? Are there supposed to be health benefits?
When is the "natural energy" supposed to kick in?
Also, I am drinking this at work. Am I going to get drunk?

I've been having yerba mate every morning for the past few months. I like to mix it with a bit of peppermint.I was a mate guy for awhile, even got the bombilla but I think it is best cold like the Paraguayans like it.

Every time I take a sip of tea that someone else made I always say "This is great iced tea." Every time, without fail.

I like sun tea. Mrs SSOC got this old 1gallon glass pickle jar at an antique store. I fill it up with water from the RO and four Lipton or Luzianne 1QT teabags. Let it sit in direct sunlight for about 4 hrs and then pour over a large plastic cup full of ice cubes. Very refreshing after doing yardwork during the summer.
I think sweetened ice tea is gross.
During the winter, I like to drink Bigelow Vanilla Chai blend - about 3 parts hot tea with 1 part half and half or cream (or Evan Williams depending on the time of day). Very good winter drink.

It is national tea day and I am sipping a dandelion after an english breakfast. I want to roll with some high end herbal iced tea this summer. I need your reccomendos here.
I'm big on Rooibos. Specifically, Celestial Seasonings Madagascar Vanilla Rooibos tea: http://www.celestialseasonings.com/products/rooibos/madagascar-vanilla-rooibos
Throw a few bags of that into a 1/2 gallon glass milk jug, fill with water and just brew it in the fridge. Good stuff.
I do a combo of the Rooibos with Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime for that evening iced tea, usually about one glass and I'm ready for bed.

Passranch, that is what I was drinking today :D
my only thing on it is like I dunno if I should care about micro plastics or not with their tea bags (I assume they do a ultrasonic weld with some sort of plastic on the bag edges), I like that they don't have the string, staple and tag tho. That blend + some milk is really good to pair with baked goods/sweets
Yeah, and it's really good in the morning with a breakfast bar. I get through a mess of this stuff.

I’ve made a couple batches of iced tea in the fridge. I steep it in the glass container that came with my cold brew coffee maker. Combine two quarts of filtered h2o with two Luzianne tea bags and let it steep in the fridge for twelve hours. Very smooth and refreshing.
I'd like to do something like this, but I'm a tea n00b. Before I graduate to an advanced recipe like this, are there any simpler ones I can try just to get my feet wet?
