Around noon yesterday I realized my inlaws were coming over for dinner, and all I had to drink was a lone beer, orange juice, and root beer tea that we didn’t like that had been sitting in the fridge for a week.
So I set to making tea! I made this one first, because my mother in law loves berries. I got a 10g sample in store a little bit ago and have only had 1 cup of hot out of it, so I used the rest of the package and steeped the leaves twice to get a full pitcher. I’d rather use less leaf and do multiple steepings. I’ve also gotten into the habit of not using an infuser for my pots-of-tea-to-be-iced, as I pour them out anyway into another vessel. I just strain as I pour.
This one managed to be cold by five with the help of a few hours in the fridge and the ice tube insert in the middle of the pitcher. We went through about a liter of the stuff! It was light and refreshing, just what we needed after heavy Chinese takeout. Still, I have many other whites I like a lot more, I’m not sure I’ll be replacing this one. Probably not as long as I have Strawberry Rhubarb on my shelf.

this is my fave… it’s so light!! and crisp, but I have a feeling that was just the batch I bought, and not a regular happening *sighs
It’s good, there are just so many other that I like so much better.
I hear ya. Everyone has their faves… which is good in a sense or else demand would be higher than supply and it would be more overpriced than it already is!! :P
