Alphakitty drank Bangkok Blend by Harney & Sons

I still have a ton of the cold-brewed Bangkok in the fridge, so today I mixed it with ginger ale. SO GOOD. I wonder if you could carbonate iced tea with one of those soda stream things…

Sounds delicious.

Give it a try! Or just add some soda water maybe?

I was thinking of buying a soda stream anyway to save some money, but the thought of trying it out with all sorts of teas is really pushing me into “I need one right now” territory!

Talk to Frank… he used to make tea sodas in his tea shop Zoomdweebies all the time … I know he mentioned how to make one before, so I’m sure he could tell you how to do just that.

You can with the the hand held Twist ’n Sparkle. Or you can strong brew it and then add the appropriate amount sparkling water via SodaStream to your taste. I have both and they work pretty well. I’d say the SodaStream way is slightly more fizzier though.

I’m in the same boat – saving up for a soda stream. Strong brew it – or I’m going to go so far as to make little tea syrups. Definitely try it with a soda water in the meantime. That’ll give you a chance to experiment and see if you like the taste!

Thanks for the tips everyone! Definitely going to try it out with soda water first.

Bio

Tea has always been a passion of mine, though I got away from it during college. A lack of cupboard space and a constant influx of people into my suite made me pretty much abandon my teas at home. But now that I’m done with school, it’s definitely come back with a vengeance—to the point where I’ve purchased about 65 different kinds in the past 3 months!

I like most kinds of teas—yes, even peach, which I used to think I disliked!. Oolongs are definitely my favorite, and I’m an avid fan of earl grey, floral teas, and chai blends along with anything melon. The only kind of teas on my “no” list are rooibos blends (which gives me headaches) and banana flavored ones since bananas are public enemy #1 in my mind.

The best thing about tea for me is how you can be passionate about it and still have it integrate into all of your other hobbies. I like a lot of things: writing, video games, books, sewing, figure collecting, astronomy… it’s a long list. But whatever I’m doing, I can have a cup of tea in hand!
