Above is a photo of the ice tea I am making using cold water, this is how it looks after about two hours.
I make ice tea in a pitcher and it is so easy. I put 4 tablespoons of
loose leaf tea in a tea infuser in a pitcher of cold water. I think mine
is a quart size so this gives 4 eight ounce glasses. I use some black tea and
some with a flavor like Earl Grey. Wait 10 hours, remove the tea infuser and voila. Put it in the refrigerator and then enjoy your tea. This is
very inexpensive, perhaps 30 cents for 16 ounces versus $1.50 or more for a 16
oz. bottle. Plus you can do any flavors you like including decaff and herbal.
Also
in the photo is the new pottery vase I bought at my neighbor's pottery
sale, It is cream color with a marbling effect of pale blue. The flowers
are godetias from my garden. If you buy a six pack of godetias to
plant, you will likely get a lot of flowers. Godetias are not the most
common of plants and I remember the plant name because it starts with
god.
Above is one of the many teas from Plum Deluxe tea company that I use to make iced tea, and hot tea too. The tea scoop spoon is cute with its heart shape bowl and I bought that from Plum Deluxe too. The most recent tea I bought from them is Grantham Tea created in honor of Downton Abbey.
