The tea thread

[caseydog]

I rarely make sweet tea up here for myself because I only drink it on occasion (goes great with fried chicken). And they don't carry Luzianne!

When I do make it, I always use Luzianne.

Head just a little bit south and I’ll bet you can find it. My local Kroger stocks a whole line of it:

I could probably order it online (my sister and one of our kids are Prime members). The closest Kroger is about 45 minutes away. Thanks!

For those overseas, Luzianne tea is blended specifically for iced tea. It is not something you would want to use for a cuppa hot tea. I don't know what that blend is, but it really is the best for iced tea.

Isn't builders tea really dark and strong?

Just to be clear, it’s half-and-half, not full cream.

I knew that I use full cream in my coffee.

You have a Meijer closer to you, right? Check there. I know some things are regional, but we’re not that far apart and they sell it down here.

It fills that spot between whole milk and single cream - more fat than whole milk, less fat that single cream.

You prefer to think of it as cream, I prefer to think of it as super whole milk!

My mistake. I thought half and half was equivalent to single cream. Do you get single cream in the US?

The closest to single cream would probably be regular whipping cream. Here, it goes:

Skim milk
1% milk
2% milk
Whole milk
Half-and-half
Whipping cream
Heavy whipping cream

I think Mr. Twining developed this just to drive karadekoolaid insane:

1. It’s a teabag
2. It’s for iced tea
3. It’s “cold brewed*”





*That term always makes me laugh.

I've never tried "cold brewed" tea. They sell it (for too much money) at coffee shops like Starbucks (AKA: Allyourbucks).

It’s ok for something fast, but it’s nowhere near as good as an iced tea that was brewed. This just sits on the counter for five minutes in some cold water.
