I Made Iced Tea!


I am so happy that I made my own iced tea. I love drinking tea and juice all the time, but I spend too much money on juice, and I don't have an iced tea maker like my dad's. (It's a "Mrs. Tea.") So, naturally, a time comes in a girl's life when she must make her own iced tea in order to be refreshed.

The first thing I did was heat up some water in a saucepan. I didn't totally boil it though because I planned to transfer it to a plastic container that I suspected could melt. Then I dropped in three tea bags: Two green teas and a mint tea. I let that brew for a few and then stirred in about five tablespoons of honey. Next, I poured the tea into a Nalgene water bottle filled with ice. After a few hours in the refrigerator, this tea was pretty good, and also pre-sweetened. Success!
