Made this as an iced tea through the cold steep method at work yesterday (and then realized I’d forgotten to bring in anything to drink it in, iced tea in a mug doesn’t really work). So I’m trying it today. I didn’t sweeten the entire liter because I’m trying to get some of my co-workers a little more into tea but sweetening my travel mug was an interesting experience. The granulated sugar here doesn’t have a spoon so it was sort of a ‘pour a little and shake and taste and repeat until satisfied’ thing so I’ll probably end up with a different amount of sweetener in each cup of this unless I give in and sweeten the rest of it in the jug.
I’m not completely happy with this as an iced tea but I don’t know how much of that is that this tea is super old and I should really just throw it out or something but I created it and it’s got my poor deceased kitty Gizmo on the label and I can’t seem to do that. So I keep drinking it. The hazelnut makes this nutty and toasty but the sub-optimum old Adagio black tea makes this just meh.
Flavors: Caramel, Hazelnut

What do you mean old Adagio black tea? They’ve changed it? Or you just mean this aged blend?
I conflated 2 problems. It’s old, and it’s an Adagio black tea, which tend to be picky. I don’t think I’ve ever cold steeped one before but they’re hard to get right for warm temperatures ,for me anyway. Best in the 180-190F range rather than boiling.
