easy iced tea for someone who asked
Comments (10)I make a gallon of ice tea once or twice a week. Years ago I started using six tea bags for the gallon. Then I only had five tea bags so used that and it tasted fine. Last month I decided to see what four tea bags in a gallon would taste like and was amazed, I couldn't tell the difference. I bring a pan of water to a boil, turn the heat off and toss in the tea bags. Let it set for 10 minutes or so. I fill my gallon pitcher half way high with ice cubes, add a little water to the pan to cool it off and pour the tea into the pitcher. While I'm doing that I take a big fork and press the tea bags a little to get all I can out of them, fill the pitcher to the top with more water and stick it all in the fridge. Takes 15 mins to make and is ready to drink in a half hour. And tastes fine using only four bags. I don't add sugar. I get my tea directly from England or Australia which both offer a better grade tea and I don't detect any tannins in the flavor when I use this method. Jodi-...See Morefrozen or iced coffee question
Comments (10)I'm the only one who drinks frozen coffee also. What I did was made a pot. Then I froze them in a ice try. I use about 3-4 cubes with milk or vanilla ice cream, then blend in blender. I have been looking for recipes but haven't come across a great one yet. My suggestion is to make 1 cup of coffee however you make it add ice cubes, vanilla ice cream and thats it. Here are some recipes I have found: Cappuccino Smoothie Recipe 2 cups brewed double strength coffee 1 pint coffee ice cream 6 cups ice 1 1/2 cups milk whipped cream, if desired cinnamon for garnish Place coffee, ice cream, ice and milk in blender. Mix well until smooth. Top with whipped cream (if desired) and cinnamon. 277 Calories, 36g Carbs, 8.8g Fat, 16.8g Protein =------------------------------------------- STARBUCK'S FROZEN FRAPPUCCINO The Frappuccino is blended with strong coffee, sugar, a dairy base, and ice. Make double-strength coffee by measuring 2 tablespoons of ground coffee per cup (serving) in your coffee maker. The copy will be even more authentic if you use Starbucks beans and grind them yourself just before brewing. Coffee 3/4 cup double-strength coffee, cold 1 cup low-fat milk 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 2 cups ice 1. Make double-strength coffee by brewing with twice the coffee required by your coffee maker. That should be 2 tablespoons of ground coffee per each cup of coffee. Chill before using. 2. To make the drink, combine all ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed until ice is crushed and drink is smooth. Pour into two 16-ounce glasses, and serve with a straw. Makes 2 large drinks. Caramel For this, add 3 tablespoons of caramel topping to the original recipe above and prepare as described. Top each glass with whipped cream and drizzle additional caramel over the whipped cream. Mocha For this version, add 3 tablespoons Hershey's chocolate syrup to the original recipe and prepare as described. Top each glass with whipped cream if desired ------------------------------------ FROZEN MOCHA (makes 1 serving; about the amount of 1 coffee cup) Ingredients: -1 cup ice cubes *I use 5 and it works great -1/2 cup vanilla frozen yogurt, or ice cream -1/2 cup milk -1 envelope of any brand hot cocoa mix *I use Nestle -1/2 teaspoon Instant coffee granules *I use General Foods International French Vanilla -Fat Free whipped topping (optional) Directions: Place ice, frozen yogurt(or ice cream), milk, cocoa mix, and coffee granules in blender; cover. Blend until smooth. Top with whipped topping. Serve Immediately....See MoreBaking soda in your iced tea, anyone?
Comments (27)The same guy on the tea forum, when discussing sun tea said he thought it wasn't exactly safe. Something about bacteria being able to grow from the tea sitting outside in the sun for hours. I never thought about bacteria, have made sun tea before and so far haven't gotten sick. I sweeten my tea, hot or cold, by serving, not in the pitcher or pot. The artificial sweeteners are really too sweet for me but if that's all I have on hand I use that. I've never tried honey in iced tea only in brewed hot. Anyone sweeten iced tea with honey?...See MoreIced Tea?
Comments (40)Boo.. we have a Keurig at work, but I find that since coffee runs through the thing, the tea is off-kilter, taste wise. (I'm not impressed with the coffee, either. Rather watery.) The absolutely most revolting tea I ever had was when I stopped off at a small Mississippi town to sleep in, on my way down to New Orleans. There were two restaurants -- a Bugger King and a Chinese place. I went to the Chinese place. I asked for tea. It came -- sweet. ICK. I asked for a new cup, not sweetened. The waitress told me it was only available... sweet. Chinese tea?? You had to be kidding me! I had her replace it with water, fortunately not sugared up. (After that, I ordered the most innocuous item on the menu -- if they can't get tea right, forget anything interesting!)...See MoreUser
