Types of Tea

[Keikoppi]

So, a friend at work gave me a packet of jasmine tea shredded leaves/ flakes and I have a mom that comes home with all sorts of fruits from working in the fruit market.

I've done a great some mixing with the list below:

condensed milk + milk
condensed milk + green tea powder
Orange juice
Apple juice
watermelon juice
mango (regrettable)

I'm thinking grape may do some justice aswell. I want to taste more flavours. Anyone care to add in a few more ideas?? :3

I add lime juice to my lipton. The lime isn't as overpowering as lemon

Neiman Marcus Spiced Tea:

3 Cinnamon Sticks
3 whole cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 English breakfast tea bags, or Irish Breakfast or Orange Pekoe
(preferably Damman Freres)
1/4 cup Tang orange drink mix
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
1 orange or lemon, sliced

I made this but without the almond extract and the cloves. It's a nice, cold summer drink.

I can't find Tang anymore. I get orange Crystal Light or something similar. Isn't as good.

This tea mix looks good. i might try it. The nutmeg is put in a tea bag or just dumped in with everything else?

 

[Tellenbach]

I can't find Tang anymore.

I got the Tang at Walmart but I've also seen it at Ralphs. Don't use the Crystal Light; I tried that once and it was gross.

Boil 6 1/2 cups water and add the cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Turn heat to low and let simmer for 5 minutes, covered. Then add the tea bags.

Remove from heat and let tea steep for 3 to 4 minutes. Strain the liquid, add the Tang, let cool, and put in fridge. Serve with ice and the lemon slice.

That's pretty good. I'm drinking it warm. I used Market Pantry orange flavor enhancer. It tastes like orange Tic Tacs. I'm sure Tang would've been better. I'll try it if I ever make it back to Walmart again.

Oh, I used one of those fillable tea bags for my spices and tied it shut with a trash bag tie. Thought I should share that in case it is helpful.

Ahh I'm from Down Under (specifically, Sydney). I'm not sure where to look for those ingredients. I have my local supermarkets, my Oriental markets, and my second-hand/ cheaper buys supermarkets. Where does Walmart belong in those category??

 

[Keikoppi]

I've just had mint + orange + lime mixed. With ice. :9 The weathers always hot here so it's refreshing.

The most important ingredient is probably the cinnamon. The Tang just gives it an orangey type flavor and a beautiful color; you can probably use some orange juice for the Tang. Walmart is just a really large supermarket.

Shredded coconut is really nice in Jasmine tea.

I also like peach and cherry flavours to add in (especially if cooling for iced tea).

What was the watermelon like? I have never thought to try it.

This sounds amazing. Could the tang be subbed for actual orange juice or orange juice concentrate?

Probably, but I'm not sure how much orange juice you'd need. I'd try 1 cup orange juice for every cup of tea, so 3 1/4 cups orange juice and 3 1/4 cups water. I'd make the drink using just 3 1/4 cups water and then add the 3 1/4 cups orange juice later. Good luck.

Thanks. This is great. I've been experimenting with making my own green tea ice tea lately, so this is something I might try out soon as well.

• Rooibos with fresh milk
• Rooibos with a slice of lemon
• Green tea, as is.

It's the Jasmine tea flavour that does the work. May lack a little kick, but I don't mind adding a bit of sugar to my watermelon tea. If I had to describe it perfectly, a duller flavour of Lipton Ice Tea.

Cherry tea sounds new to me.

Btw, Ive tried juicing grapes for the mixing. Does has a wine-ish after taste (tis grape )
