Yesterday, TeaChatters voted that they prefer to make their own Iced Tea by a wide margin. You can still vote and discuss this topic.
Welcome TeaChatters of every tea preference to TeaDay. Come and share your cup with us...tell us what you are drinking today...all day. See what others are sipping as well. Reflect back on your TeaDay if you need to.
Today's TeaPoll continues with the iced tea topic. Please share your iced tea preferences with us...do you sweeten, add anything else?
I am as always looking forward to hearing what is in your cup. Bottoms up, refill, repeat......

Sal, you outdo yourself every day! You really have a sense of composition.
I've so far had "Russian tea". Will go for some Keemun next.
White tea is the best to chill, I think. Green tea is also good. No sugar.

Sweet tea, duh! It's a Southern thing ....
Sal ... oh my ... absolutely beautiful! I'm gonna jump on the "you should make these into a book / calendar / website" bandwagon. Seriously.
Chip: how's the cat?
Nothing yet this am, but planning on brewing Irish Breakfast early (don't everyone show your shock at once) and then a huge pot of iced tea in the ever popular Mr. Coffee iced tea maker for the park, if we dry out from the torrents overnight.

I like sweet tea if I'm eating out. Otherwise I use splenda if any sweetner.ThinkingOutLoud wrote:Sweet tea, duh! It's a Southern thing ....
Red rose does make excellent iced tea, as does Mary's suggestion of Lady Gray (Twinnings).
Us too 2-3" overnight. Tornado sirens going off at 2:00 a.m. Dog pacing the floors shaking. I took her to the porch to do her transactions. Then another hour of pacing the floors. I'm a little tired.ThinkingOutLoud wrote:Coffee iced tea maker for the park, if we dry out from the torrents overnight.
I'm working on Pu Ehr samples at work in the morning. then I switch to iced around lunchtime.
Yeah, at home I have to do the Splenda thing or I'd end up weighing 2 tons. And I've had to cut out the once daily trips to Chik Fil A for large sweet tea. That's a killer!augie wrote:I like sweet tea if I'm eating out. Otherwise I use splenda if any sweetner.
No dog here, but did end up with two very frightened little ones crowding the bed around 2 am. That must be the witching hour.augie wrote:Us too 2-3" overnight.

Morning all! I went with oolong, but sweet tea was a close second. Just because, when done right, it is soooo good. What can I say, I'm a southern girl.
White tip Earl Grey today. It was actually pretty good. I didn't like it all that much before, but now I wonder if I just brewed it too thin. Today's cup was the last bit I had and I honestly did it just to finish off the tea. Almost wishing I had a little more... Almost.
One of my kitties just came down with ring worm. No idea where she got it. I haven't even let them on the porch lately.
But she's a bit psycho and is licking the spot a ton, making it red, inflamed and icky. So we had to put her in the "Cone of Shame", which is a blue cone made of thick, plastic coated cloth. She hates it but at least she's leaving her little fungus alone so we can medicate it without her licking all the medicine off two seconds later.
Chip, I hope Marsby is doing better day.

Yeh, think I'd get kicked out of the South if I didn't go w/this one. Although I have started using better quality tea. Harney & Sons has 2 qt size tea bags that I like using. Also plan to experiment w/some of my loose tea over ice.ThinkingOutLoud wrote:Sweet tea, duh! It's a Southern thing ....
Fixed oolong #8 w/bfast this morning. Trying to deplete more of my tea stash before I place another order... especially after finding the ticket from my last order which was just in April.
I still like oolong #8--it was a good transition tea for me since before that I only drank black tea. But I'm ready to get oolong #40 back in here.LT & Chip-sorry about the furry family members. Hope Marsby is better today. And I like the new avatar, omegapd!
Will be interested to see how others vote!

Sometimes I think I am the only person in the world that drinks Iced Tea Unsweetened. It is extremely hard to find in RTD teas.
I voted for black, I've not really had much exposure to other kinds.
I plan on changing that this summer.
My morning brew at home was Adagio Hibiscus - still working my way through some black samples.
Now at work, I'm enjoying some Fu Shou oolong.
