ps I like a little tea with my ice
We get colder here in a month or so. The good news is we only get one snow storm. It starts in October and ends in May.
I wonder if "blame Wildcat" will become a theme here? - Fr_Tom

Recipe? You brew the tea, mix in cane sugar to taste and add a little more and pour it over ice.
I’m guessing most people just use Lipton

Lipton works, but we use Luzianne.

I use whatever black tea is cheapest. And use about 10 to 15 regular size tea bags for a gallon. It has to be strong enough that the ice won’t dilute it too much. Sweeten to taste. I use Splenda. And squeeze some Real Lemon in the glass.

But other people round here like MILO’s

I drank tea with various artificial sweeteners for a long time, but then I found that it was messing up my gut so I started drinking it with less sugar until I came to prefer it with no sweetener at all. I can drink a gallon of unsweetened tea a day.

I’ve tried Luzianne but I did not like the artificial sweetener
