Hints from Heloise - Boosting Iced Tea

By Hklbrries

Dear Readers: If you’re a fan of a cold glass of iced tea and are looking for some ways to jazz up your next glass, here are a few hints for you:

Use frozen strawberries instead of ice cubes.

Add a sprig of mint to your drink.

Try orange or lime slices in place of lemon for a different flavor twist.

Add a teaspoon of powdered lemonade mix for a zingy, lemony taste.

I throw a small handful of cinnamon candies into the teapot when I brew tea.

Wondering how to store your tea? Keep loose tea and tea bags in a dark, cool, dry place, away from strong odors. Do not refrigerate. Coffee, however, can be stored for a long time in the refrigerator. For more tea hints and a bunch of flavored coffee recipes, order my Heloise’s Flavored Coffees and Teas pamphlet by sending $3 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (65 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Coffee, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.

Another great tea hint? Don’t pour out leftover brewed tea. Freeze it in an ice-cube tray, and add the cubes to your next glass. The tea won’t get watered down!
