Pyramid Bags and Iced Tea


A few weeks ago we were in the Detroit area "fancy mall" and picked up an iced tea pitcher at Teavana. After experimenting a bit, it turns out it's a good way to make iced tea.

The pitcher is made of a special plastic that you can put really hot water in. It has a little strainer at the top where you put the tea leaves. Just heat up some water, put it in the pitcher, put tea leaves in the strainer, wait a few minutes, then remove the tea leaves and put the pitcher in the fridge.

I used several different loose leaf teas and herbs--an oolong, peppermint, even a white tea. They turned out pretty well. My only complaint was that the leaves were hard to clean from strainer.

So I took some of our pyramid tea bags and used them instead. I took the strings and labels off and used two bags. I added some sugar and it turned out perfectly.

And it was easy to clean after removing the pyramid bags.

So feel free to use our tea with their equipment. Don't worry, we won't tell anyone.
