Tea: House Wine of the South
I've been drinking Iced Tea since I was a small child and, yes, like all southerners, I drink it year round, not just when summer is searing, but when the snow flies, too. In the summertime, I keep a pitcher of sweetea in the fridge all the time.
In the South we call it Sweetea (Sweet Tea).
Nothing beats a frosty glass of home-brewed iced tea.
J
une is National Iced Tea Month--so popular is iced tea that the entire month of June has been set aside in celebration and recognition.

Healthy Iced Sweet Tea Recipe
(Southern Sweetea)
This is my healthy iced sweetea recipe. Would work for hot tea also if you leave out the ice.2 cups of filtered water or spring water
heat on medium in a stainless steel or glass pot
add 1/8 cup Organic maple syrup (365 from Whole Foods is good) grade B (unprocessed)
stir gently while heating to completely dissolve the syrup into the water
add 4 Tetley tea bags
cover and remove from heat
let sit 15 minutes or so
pour into tall heavy glass (never plastic) filled with ice cubes
This will be very strong, dilute to taste with filtered water
Add slice of lemon (squeeze into tea)
Enjoy with a good book outside under a tree!!
Let me know how you like this.

Books about Iced Tea
Thai Iced Tea
An exotic choice for a summer thirst quencher, Thai iced tea is as refreshing as it is unusual. It begins with aromatic Jasmine tea, plenty of sugar, and a liberal shot of light cream which, when poured in, turns the drink a distinctive orange color. This Southeast Asian specialty, though satisfying on its own -- the drink is almost over-whelmingly sweet but delightfully floral -- is the perfect complement to spicy Panang coconut curry or a stir-fry with prik pao, a roasted chili paste sauce.
- Recipes : Thai Iced Tea : Food Network
- Emeril Live: Episode: Gateway to Tailand - Thai red tea leaves are blended with star anise, cinnamon, and vanilla. The steeped tea then is flavored with sugar, and after being cooled is mixed with cream and often condensed milk for a refreshing creamy drink

Making Sun Tea
Fill a clear glass jar or jug with water, the amount depending on how much tea you want to make. Select your tea - either bags or loose tea. Four tea bags or 4 tsp. tea will make 4 c. of sun tea.
Use a jar with a lid or cover with wax paper and secure with a rubber band. Place the jar outside in the sun. You don't have to set the jar of water with tea bags outside. You can put it near a window that gets the morning sun.
In an hour, check the tea's strength and color. If you used loose tea without a container, strain the tea.
If you leave tea bags in the water too long, the tea will be bitter. I prefer Luzianne Tea for Iced Tea. Lipton has a bit of a bitter taste and Tetley doesn't seem to have much taste. Sometimes I make sun tea with various herbal teas. You can put in a few sprigs of fresh mint as well.

Recipes For Tea
- teálity / a tea experience - Tea Sangria
- Yummy recipe for a fruity tea where tea is used rather than wine. According to Wikipedia Sangria (Spanish: sangría; Portuguese: sangria) is a wine punch typical of Spain and Portugal (the word means "bleeding" in both languages). It typically consists of
* red wine,
* chopped or sliced fruit (often orange, lemon, apple, and/or peach; occasionally kiwifruit or banana),
* a sweetener such as honey, sugar, or orange juice,
* a small amount of added brandy, triple sec, or other spirits,
* gaseosa (carbonated water).
