\"\"<\/a>I grew up drinking iced tea, sweetened with sugar.\u00a0 Not the instant kind made from a powder that smelled strange and had a fake lemon aftertaste but actual iced tea that you brewed.\u00a0 Not sun tea either although my mom had tried that a few times early on but then stuck to regular iced tea.<\/p>\n

My mom even had a Mr. Coffee iced tea maker for a while but to be honest I was never really down with it.\u00a0 It worked alright but it didn’t make things any easier really.\u00a0 Making iced tea isn’t something that is very hard or time consuming.<\/p>\n

When Scott and I first moved in together, our iced tea worlds collided.\u00a0 He comes from an Instant Family so you can see how we would have butted heads.\u00a0 I couldn’t get over someone liking a “fake” tea spawned from a powder containing lord knows what, when I could make iced tea that had three ingredients: Tea, water, sugar.<\/p>\n

Eventually his addiction to powdered tea phased out and now he’s converted to proper iced tea.\u00a0 I tell myself this is a result of his ever developing palate and not due to the fact that I finally declared that, “I’m not buying that stuff anymore.”\u00a0 I’m pretty sure it’s the first scenario.<\/p>\n

Making iced tea is really simple! And it can be a great beverage to have on occasion and especially handy when entertaining guests.\u00a0 Plus, tea is really versatile and you can make so many different kinds!<\/p>\n
