LOL, my mother and aunt were always experimenting trying to perfect recipes. This one they used used and it worked well and it was only for iced tea.

Dear Angie,

It is really nice to have the connection with recipes with our mothers & our aunts.
Did either of them have a special Iced Tea recipe? Beside the added baking soda?

Hi, Mary. Southern sweet iced tea is what we enjoyed. For the most part, coffee was served for breakfast and tea at lunch and dinner. I experiment by adding a little mint or lemon to my iced tea. I can cut down on the sugar that way. I enjoy infusions and other flavored teas but only drink coffee when I have company.

I find I have to go to the larger grocers to find a good selection to choose from. My daughter will send me seasonal teas when she sees them in her area. She lives in the Philadelphia area.

Dear Angie,

Thank you so much for sharing! If anyone has ever had the "real" homemade sweet tea~ you'd all know when you just drank it wouldn't you agree? There's probably nothing like it!

I adore infusions and trying new things. I have always loved adding lemon as well, anything to cut down on sugar is always a good thing!

There are some really fabulous on-line tea sites that carry a wide variety of teas. Some however, may be quite pricey. If tea is kept in a cool place and stored in an air-tight container, it can be kept well after a year(some teas are delicate though) perhaps buying in bulk may work for you?

Thanks!

I had gone to Teavanna and purchased some tea in bulk. It was delicious but I have not been back.

Dear Angie, It is good to experiment with different brands. Some people shop teas for their history behind how they manage their tea fields to people who are stedfast tea bag only users, who for some reason or other will not even try a loose brand.

These tea drinkers only want a drink for convenience rather than anything else.

Buying in bulk may save you money in many ways:

it may lower the cost of even a very expensive tea, you may be at an exclusive small batch tea and have gotten in on a first flush of tea, also buying in bulk creates convenience to some as they know tea kept in air tight container lasts a long time~

Keep enjoying tea and let us all know on any other new tastings you may try, I'd love to hear your experiences~

Mary, How ironic. I was in Washington DC for a few days, the Daughters of the American Revolution are celebrating their 125th anniversary this year - and Lipton is celebrating 125 years also -

The American Revolution had its roots in tea - "the Boston Tea Spillers"!
