Betty responds to a viewer request and demonstrates how she makes the tea she is always drinking with the meals she prepares. Since the tea pitcher is central to tea-making, Betty gives a tour of her Early American Pattern Glass collection, focusing on tea pitchers, for those who are interested. If you're not interested, please FF through the video or "X" out of it!
Iced Tea
1 family-size tea bag (I use the kind labeled "Iced Tea.")
1 single serving-size tea bag (Again, I use the kind labeled "Iced Tea." If you cannot find those, just use regular tea bags.)
1 large pitcher water
Pour 1/2 of the pitcher of water into a saucepan (or tea kettle, or whatever you are comfortable with). Bring the water to a rolling boil, and insert the family-size tea bag and the single-serving tea bag. Swirl them around a bit, secure the tag ends, so that they do not touch the burner, and boil the tea for 3 minutes. (You may just bring the tea back to a boil, and then remove it from heat, and let it steep for about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the desired strength of the tea. I actually boil the tea, because it has been suggested that some tea leaves are not cleaned properly, and may contain contaminants.) After 3 minutes of boiling, remove the tea bags, and let the tea cool a bit, and then pour it into your pitcher of reserved water. If possible, let the tea cool to room temperature before serving. Then serve, by pouring tea into a glass containing ice cubes. Have sugar, artificial sweetener, and lemon slices available for those who desire them. Many people prefer the tea unsweetened, with no additives. I hope you enjoyed my presentation, but, if you have a tried-and-true way of making tea, just stick with it!--there's nothing special about my tea-making! BG
