Afternoon Tea, Anyone?

Though this has been around a long time, I still run across people who don't know about Lipton Cold Brew Iced Tea. Dear Hubby practically lives on iced tea, so we go through a lot of this. You only have to put the tea bag in the cold water -- and in 5 minutes you have a pitcher of tea! We use family size so we only need 1 tea bag per 1/2 gallon of water.

My tastes run more toward green tea or herb tea. But I don't like hot drinks, so I make these into iced tea. Celestial Seasonings brand is my favorite. Steep 2 small herbal or green tea bags in a small amount of hot water, then add cool water to make one quart. Green tea comes mixed with very interesting flavors. I add a little liquid stevia to sweeten, and it's perfect.

Have you tried white tea? I think it's yummy, with a gentle and unique flavor. It comes from young tea leaves, has more antioxidants than other teas, and less caffeine. You need to steep it in water that is just below the boiling point, and only for about 2 or 3 minutes.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a "tea break".
