Now this look delicious. Do you have any bubble tea recipes by chance? My wife is a huge fan of them and the local store is getting very expensive.

Apple, ginger, and mint sounds like a wonderful refreshing drink combination. When it starts to get hot again we are going to try this.

I loved your story about making sun tea as a kid! Thanks for sharing it and these incredible recipes for home-brewed teas. At XING, our all natural iced tea is sweetened with pure cane sugar and honey. We also brew and can it hot, which kills any bacteria attempting to colonize your delicious drink!

Wow, that’s some fancy glassware for iced tea! Looks very relaxing. I love iced tea too but I make it the old-fashioned way. No, not in the sun (I need a backyard or porch for that, and I don’t in my studio). But I brew a pot of tea and then pour it into a pitcher and add sugar (not too much though) and then just put it in my refrigerator. This way, the tea leaves isn’t sitting for extended periods of time. It always brews a perfect body of tea that tastes great throughout the week for dinner. Mmmmm. (I don’t even bother with ice because I’ve kept it refrigerator and this way the tea doesn’t get watered down.)

Really great combination of flavors. I can’t wait to try this.

Alia, thanks for the recipe/tips.

One more thing: Use filtered water for all your tea, hot or cold. Chlorine bleaches flavor, just as it does clothing, and if you have hard water, the minerals make it difficult for the tea’s flavor to shine through.

Alia, that sounds like a great recipe that doesn’t require any special hardware! That said, the Tea Forte container looks awesome.
