If there was ever a week for iced tea, this would be it. Thick, woozy heat, and a national holiday all at once? What are we doing here?! Let's close up shop, go home, and sip a glass of icy green tea with tangerine and mint, or make a pitcher of classic Southern sweet tea. Those and other fresh takes on iced tea here, including tapioca boba milk tea, hibiscus Earl Grey tea, and a spiked iced chai latte. Grab a glass!
Are you making iced tea this week? What sort do you usually make? Have a good recipe to share?

We stir a spoonful of really flavorful jam, like boysenberry, into iced tea or lemonade (as both sweetener and flavoring) and make our ice cubes out of iced tea or lemonade so it doesn't dilute the drink as the cubes melt.
I'm a fan of filling a pint jar with water and adding a teabag, then leaving it to cold brew overnight in the fridge. But lately I've noticed that I can get a subtle (but delicious) tea flavor with a quick cold brew– not much longer than you would steep hot tea. I think of it more as flavored water than iced tea, but it's still refreshing.
My favorite Lebanese place told me that they add mint and anise to black tea to make their delicious iced tea. I'm very anti-licorice, but the herbal kick of the anise cuts the sweetness. Very quenching.
In the super hot summer, Sweet Tea Sorbet is very refreshing. http://tinyurl.com/6ukqo8c
The green tea mojito keeps linking to the Dr. Oz (that scary, scary man) recipe! Both the photo link and the written link below. The mojito sounds great in this heat, though.
Same... Want the recipe for Green Tea Mojito, please.
Has anyone ever tried barley tea? I just would like to know a little more about it.
I spent December in Morocco drinking sweet mint tea. I usually like mine unsweetened, but this felt so exotic and traditional, that we drank it everywhere we went.
Did a search and found the actual recipe page:
