I Heart Iced Tea

Ask anyone in my family and they will tell you that I’m not a tea drinker. Err, I should say that I wasn’t a tea drinker. Until now. As it turns out, I love iced tea! LOVE IT! And, I love it even more with my handy dandy perfect cup of tea maker that I bought at Teavana last weekend.

My husband loves tea. Hot tea. Iced tea. All kinds of tea. Last summer we were in Teavana, me trying not to be bored outta my skull, him picking out green tea, black tea, and uber expensive white tea. Well somehow or another I ended up with some fancy rock sugar and a special blend of two different teas that tasted kinda like kool aid — it was for my daughter. Honestly. I remember buying it because it tasted like kool aid and I thought I could fake her into drinking it.

I couldn’t. She didn’t even think it was juice.

So I ended up with a 4 oz. special blend bag of this tea, and fancy sugar, and then I forgot about them in my cupboard. Until the other day, and I decided to make some iced tea with it. And when you put enough of the fancy sugar in it, and enough ice cubes, it’s kinda yummy. I mean, I actually considered having iced tea with my dinner the other week rather than red wine.

Well, soon the special blend bag of tea was empty, and I had to venture up to Teavana to get a refill. I ended up coming home with five different teas, a measuring spoon for the perfect cup, and then the perfect cup tea maker. My husband was like: WHO ARE YOU? AND WHY ARE YOU DRINKING ALL THIS TEA?

Then I ran out of the fancy sugar. *GASP!* But do not fear, I got a pound of it, so that should last me for some time ……. just out of curiousity, how many teaspoons go into a pound of sugar?
