Do you know, I've never had iced tea! How do you make it? Not too OT, I
hope as many of us grow Camellias. ;-))

REALLY??? Well let me give you a short and sweet bit. You gotta make
at least a half gallon of tea. (64 ounces) with about an ounce of black
and orange peko tea in a bag. (I've done this with raspberry tea as
well)as opposed to 80 ounces.......the tea bags that we get in the US
are made specifically for iced tea, so you might need to double up.

Thanks for this, Maddie. Next time (IF) we get a spell of hot weather, I'm
going to try that. I've tried iced coffee for the nursery staff when it's
been very hot but it's not a favourite! OTOH, they all love their afternoon
tea, so we'll try this and see how it goes down.
