For someone living in Salt Lake City this post is totally out of season, but I've been drinking a lot of iced tea even as the seasons change and winter starts to arrive. Part of the appeal of iced tea for me is that it seems to go better with lunch and dinner meals then hot tea. I really can't explain why I don't like drinking hot drinks with my lunch or dinner, but love hot drinks late at night by themselves, or with desert, or at midday with crackers and cheese, but thats the way I am.
Iced tea can be brewed just the same as regular tea, then left too cool, or effectively watered down by adding the ice while the tea is still piping hot. Many iced tea brewers, though, will use the power of the sun to brew their tea, which allows you to make bigger batches, and an easier environment for experimentation with the flavor of your tea.
Whichever way you decide upon, iced tea is a great way to get your tea on in the hotter weather, or when you just don't want a hot drink.
Cheers -

Hey you're totally not out of season. I find that ice tea can be perfect during the winter. Just like ice cream. I crave more ice cream in the winter more than the summer.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that "sunned" products are so much better. Sun dried tomatoes are delicious as well as naturally dried seeds and nuts.(which are dried on corrugated sheet metal. Sun dried tea sounds delicious but is it possible in the winter.
