I've been having yerba mate every morning for the past few months.  I like to mix it with a bit of peppermint.

I need both the best iced tea brewing system and the most elite of herbal teas to make iced tea with.

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

Iced tea is great.  Was sun tea ever discussed in this thread?

I was a mate guy for awhile, even got the bombilla but I think it is best cold like the Paraguayans like it.

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.

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.

Guys, this is my old standby.  Take a large 30/32 oz microwave safe glass and fill with filtered water to about an inch below the top.  Add four of your favorite brew tea, I like Lipton, and put in the glass and cook on high for 5 minutes.  Grab a half gal pitcher, preferably glass or anything that can hold hot water without braking and load about 3/4 up with ice.  After the tea has brewed for around 3 to five minutes, depending how strong you want it, pour over a punctured lemon with about 6 to 8 ice pick holes setting on top of the ice.  Take the used tea bags and put them in the large glass with water and let set about 5 to 10 minutes.  By this time most of the ice is melted and add whatever it takes to fill the pitcher from the glass.  It's ready to drink; just pour into the glass you were using and add ice.  Put the picture in the fridge and should be good for about three/four days if it ever lasts that long.   :lick: :drink:
Hot time in Kat town tonight.

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 used to pound southern style iced tea. Then I grew up. Now I just want a little lemon twist. No sugar.

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?
