Iced Tea Ice Cream Floats

I just saw this post about making a pu’er float that reminded me of this. It sounds crazy but it might be good:

That looks amazing! I actually thought about using puerh initially. I’ll have to try that now.

I bought some of a compressed Yunnan black tea this year that might work really well too, a good bit sweeter than any shou I’ve ever tried, but with a cool mineral undertone like those might have. It was towards how shou comes across, a bit earthy just less earthy than shou, compared to most Dian Hong or other black tea range. And I think there were no aspects that would be a problem if you brewed it thick as ink, maybe even simmering it for ten minutes at a crazy infusion proportion. That same tea isn’t available now but Yunnan Sourcing had a couple that looked similar, one small cake for around $5, if you ever end up ordering from them ($4.14 on sale for the next 13 hours, for 100 grams; too bad I just bought some from them): https://yunnansourcing.com/products/spring-2013-drunk-on-red-sun-dried-feng-qing-black-tea-mini-cake?variant=33273931590
