Take a glimpse inside Zack's kitchen as he offers his thought's on Tanya Laird's Wedding Cake. Apparently, the combination of almond, vanilla and strawberry tea is delicious in Zack's mouth.

Wow, Aphro, congrats!!

I know you said you want to do a generalized way to make iced tea but you should really show how to cold brew tea. I prefer cold brew because it gives it a lighter taste with no tannins and its really quite easy to do.

Simply fill your pitcher with cold water and add the proper amount of tea leaves (~1 tsp per cup). I normally leave all my teas in the fridge for about 4 hours, if its rolled then try 6 hours. Then just strain and enjoy. I've read that your not supposed to cold brew herbals and flowers because of toxins, but I can't verify if that information is true.

Here is where I originally found the article: Cold Brewing

Cold brewing is a unique and fun process. I like to do both, but I also enjoy maximizing my caffeine output through brewing with hot water.

I is speechless.

Thank you Zack! It totally made my week since so far it has been pretty stressy and my mom loved that she got tangentally mentioned.

FYI: Make it pretty strong if you do ice it, because the aroma is stronger than the flavor and the first couple of times I tried it I misgaged - just be on the safe side and put in more leaf than you think
