April Sipdown Prompt – mix two of your teas together

I forgot about the prompt until the second time I was drinking the tea and it hit me that I had knocked out another one.

This was an attempt to make our afternoon and evening decaf a bit more interesting while saving money. I have lots of family size teabags of Harris Teeter brand decaffeinated black tea. I used one tea bag plus three teaspoons of Harney and Sons Midsummers Peach which is also a decaf blend. I double steeped and poured into a Bodum Pitcher that holds about 56 ounces. I added a little less than a half cup sugar to keep it around the one cup per gallon mark that we usually use for sweet iced tea.

I think it was a success. Naturally the peach is a little more muted but since we have to do decaf in the evening, at least it dresses it up a bit. Would totally do this again and probably will quite a bit while this tin lasts.

That sounds absolutely delicious! And I already have some Harney & Sons Decaf Midsummers Peach, so will try with one of my own black teas, whether decaf or regular. I always love me some peach tea! Yum!

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.
