Thanks for reminding me!

I sometimes make this kind of iced tea but I should do it more often. Mint is nearly always a good idea, even with fruit teas like apple.

Just one really small thing, and I am kind of sorry that I have to mention this thought because otherwise it will bother me all day: You might want to remove the tags at the end of the teabag strings because of the paper and the ink in the tea. I really wondering if I am seeing too much detail – must be an illness of law-office secretaries…

actually, there is good news about nutrient content of tea! tea contains many antioxidants that eliminate free radicals from the body. Rooibus (red) tea is the highest in antioxidants and is decaff, so perfect to use for kids! i love tea, can’t wait to try this one!

I wonder if your water dispenser is slow because the filter needs to be changed? My mom’s was fixed by changing the filter.

BTW. the whole point of this comment is that I appreciate the idea of leaving water around to encourage me to drink.

So smart!

I do this too with frozen berries for colour – strawberries, blueberries, raspberries.
Fresh herbs like mint ad flavour as well. The sky is the limit!

I love cucumber in my water, but never thought to put it in my tea. Fabulous idea!

I was a bit hesitant about the cucumber but was pleasingly surprised to discover that this drink is awesome! Very refreshing and a great way to get some good fluids in. Thanks for the idea!

hey roni,
my sister in law got me on the “cucumber in water” trick a few yrs ago, but i’m looking forward to trying it with tea too. it looks so refreshing, and a nice change to regular water. i love all your sites, and read them daily. i’m your biggest lurking fan…ha ha! keep up the great ideas!

East coast water is great. When you come to Southern California, drink bottled or filtered.

I think that will go good with my morning breakfast I will give that a try! Might even add a little Splenda to kick it up a bit. :)

Yum. In the summer I always have a pitcher of cucumber water in the fridge. Same concept but with water only no tea. It is SO good.

Cassie – Great question! I just use regular ones and they still work! I don’t think there’s a need for cold brewed ones.

Do you use regular tea bags or ones that are made for cold brewing?
