SIPDOWN!
Made this iced and sweetened (with my traditional 1/4 c. sugar to 1/2 gallon ratio) and enjoyed it over a few days. I do believe that there was a scoop or two of the English Breakfast from the Tea Merchant in this as well since I didn’t quite have enough leaf to do a half gallon of this on its own.
It was a great, brisk black tea option. I tried one cup with some lemon but that brought out a lot of the astringence so I didn’t do it again. But it was really refreshing and had a slightly cleaner, brighter taste than a CTC tea bag. Yay for iced tea season!
