GK's favorite iced tea

(With thanks to IFI, for brewing technique)

This is so good, I just pawned it off on one of our authors. I offered him ice water--no. Iced tea? No. "Are you sure?" I asked. "I just invented something, and it's really good. Please let me make you a glass?"

He agreed. And he loves it. GK tested, author approved!

You will need:

  • Blackcurrant tea
  • A teacup
  • A glass filled to the top with ice
  • Sweetener of your choice
  • Milk, soymilk or half and half
Technique: 
  • Boil water as you would normally for tea.
  • Pour the water over the teabag, to fill the teacup halfway (around 1/2 cup hot water + teabag).
  • Add sweetener of choice.
  • Wait 2-3 minutes for tea to brew. 
  • Pour tea and sweetener over ice. Ice will melt. 
  • Add milk. Stir.
  • Enjoy!

It's so good. I love blackcurrant tea. But this is especially yummy.

I'm about to share a secret that will no longer be a secret. You might also unfriend me (though I hope not).

I've never had hot tea. I love the thought of it but never actually had some.

So tonight to fix this error I've written down the ingredients and tonight you'll find me at my nearest Kroger in search of all things you listed. I'll keep you posted.
