Iced Tea - The Pinnacle of Refreshment

[Jerm]

I typically drink 3 or 4 per day. Usually nothing fancy. We have an iced tea maker that we will throw some plain Lipton bags into and then spice it up with a couple bags of some fruit or spiced tea.

If at a restaurant, I will keep drinking refills as long as they'll give them to me, and then I will take a massive piss when I get back to the house.

What are your iced tea habits?

I grow mint in the back yard to make this.

Meadow Tea - PA Dutch Iced Mint Tea

Meadow Tea is a simple, refreshing drink made with fresh mint - a Lancaster County staple. Great way to use up the abundance of mint that grows in herb gardens.

I’m sure it has other names but being around mennonites I’ve always heard it called meadow tea.

Ooh that sounds good - don't think I've ever tried it.

Mamaki tea is pretty popular here. Not a huge fan, but it'll do in a pinch.

I was going to post this exact thread.

I drink a ton of iced tea.
I've just about cut cola pop out of my diet and switched to tea. I typically start the day with 64 oz and then drink a couple bottles throughout the day. My go to right now during the week are the herbal biscus teas from Pureleaf.
On the weekends I do a few batches of loose leaf fresh brewed tea. Winco has an amazing selection.

We make sun tea year round, though it takes longer in the winter. Thanks to big windows and bae's persistence, we pretty much always have iced tea in the house.

I love iced tea. I used to drink it with sweet-n-low growing up but now I take it straight.

You put any Long Island in that iced tea?

Not in about 10 years.

My favorite flavor, but hard to find around here.

I've never seen that. I'd buy cases of it.

I only drink unsweetened iced tea. Back in my soda/pop/coke drinking days, I used to love sweet tea (and sweetened tea), but I don't drink soda anymore (actually used iced tea to kick that habit) and anything that sweet is just unbearable for me.

Spearmint

This is the iced tea maker that we have. Pretty cheap, nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. There are definitely nicer ones out there.

Ice tea is an abomination

Black tea, hot with milk is the only tea worthy of the name

Everything else is simply a herbal wank infusion.

Well maybe you should start a hot tea with milk thread and see if it gets any traction.

My opinion is valid. And I stand by it.

I think this might have something to do with you growing up ice-deprived in England. On my first visit to England in 1998, it was practically impossible to get ice for my soda.

I'm also just fucking with you by the way. Take your tea however you like.

Soda? What is that?

Regardless

Cold drinks are for the weak.

Do you drink your beers warm with milk as well?

I would pay good money to watch you or anyone enjoy a piping hot lambic.

Back on track, sun tea is an every day drink in the summer.
