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.

Somehow I doubt it, Sacha: iced coffee is still basically coffee; iced
lemon tea is nothing like a standard afternoon cuppa*. Lovely, though.
Have you tried them on Camp with water, ice, and milk? Our girls used to
love that, and I often make it when it's hot and I don't want to take
the time to make coffee....

No, haven't used Camp coffee for years myself, though it's one of the
ingredients of coffee cake in the tea room! Good idea.

(*note to Maddie: cuppa is English slang for a cup of tea, always with
milk....)

Unless it's Earl Grey, in which case it's dishwater with a slice of lemon.
;-) I don't suppose that really constitutes a cuppa, though!
