what kind of tea makes a good iced tea?

[Anonymous]

would love some suggestions for a brand or a blend....

Cooks Illustrated says that Luzianne is the best brand for iced tea. I buy the family size bags to make mine.

We mix equal parts Lipton Tea Bags with Celestial Seasonings Fruit Blends. I personally like the Peach best. Yummy every time.

I second Luzianne. Preferably with fresh mint dropped in while the tea bags are steeping.

I'm also a big fan of mint. Green tea is good, too.

Tetley British blend because it is stronger.

I usually just use whatever I have on hand in the house, I will try the cooks illustrated suggestion that PP gave. My mom used to put a 1/2-1 teaspoon of almond and vanilla extract into iced tea with a bunch of lemon, it is sooooo good. I am not a fan of mint so I like this combo

I love the Celestial Seasonings fruit ones - no sugar needed!

I like the Stash Moroccan Mint green tea. They also make a peach black tea that I mix with regular tea (use my grocery store brand decaf). I just make it fresh every time--2 teabags in a pyrex measuring cup then dump it over a 32 oz cup full of ice. I'm the only one in the house who drinks it, so this works for me. I have a big insulated travel cup that my friends always make fun of because I've always got my iced tea with me.

I also like Republic of Tea's ginger peach, I've been out of it for a while and need to go get some more. It also comes in decaf which is nice when pregnant

My favorite is to use 4 small Lipton bags and one bag of Jasmine tea. Also, from the south, so when I make tea on the stove, I add a bit of sugar to sweeten it up before it's iced. But, nowadays I use a little bit of sugar substitute and the jasmine flavor does the rest. It's a real subtle flavor and delicious.

the almond/vanilla extract is an interesting idea...

I had iced tea at a restaurant that had cinnamon in it and it was delicious. Haven't tried it at home yet.

In the south Lipton tea bags and sugar while cooking is the standard.

And the rest of us think sweet tea is disgusting.
