In observance of National Iced Tea Month, I reached into the dark corner of my kitchen cabinets and pulled out the one remaining true "TEA" glass of the four I bought many years ago. Can you see the word "TEA" on the front? Around that band, it also says Thé, Tee, and TE'. I bought a set of four of these glasses more than a decade ago at a World Market store, but alas, three of them have gone on to Glory.
And what type of iced tea am I sipping? I'm so glad you asked! One thing I love about iced tea is that I can happily experiment with blending teas I probably wouldn't otherwise consider combining. Here, I had some rose tea a friend had given me (mostly dried rosebuds, actually), and I added some gunpowder green tea and really enjoyed the blend.
And the mint seeds I planted a few weeks ago? They're in a pot (I listened to those of you who told me how invasive mint is!), and they're already coming up like crazy, with a few of them large enough to add to my rose-flavored iced green tea. Are you celebrating National Iced Tea Month? If so, have you got an iced tea to recommend?
Your rose mint iced green tea looks refreshing! Thanks for pointing out the word 'tea' on the glass... I would have missed it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your success with the mint seeds! You'll be enjoying fresh mint in your iced tea soon. I rarely drink iced tea myself, but last summer, when I ordered some hot tea bags from Harney & Sons, they included a free sample of one of their iced tea bags. The flavor was "passion fruit" and it was really quite good! So that is one that I can recommend.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy tea "iced" too. I love that glass. I think it makes the iced tea even more enjoyable! I haven't met a flavored iced tea I didn't enjoy. Donna z ��
ReplyDeleteI’m glad your mint is growing nicely. I’ve been enjoying a loose fruity green tea that I bought at Harris Teeter grocery store. It’s their brand and very good.
ReplyDeleteGlad you put the mint in a pot. Your ice tea sounds good. Mainly I use what loose teabags I have and mix with black Red Rose tea. I just finished off some Darjeeling teabags too.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy my iced tea in the summertime. I need to start a pot of mint, I love putting it in my iced tea. Yours is looking good!
