I love tea.  Chai, green tea, Irish breakfast, black tea with honey… all of it.  There is only a few tea blends that can get me to pass over a freely offered fresh-brewed cup of herbal goodness.  That being said, yesterday I decided to try a little experiment with my daily tea drinking.  Usually about halfway through the day I need to make more tea because I’ve drank half the pitcher.  I don’t want to run out just in time for dinner.

First, I started cold brewing my tea.  It’s a longer process but the way I drink it, I’d be heating up the stovetop three times a day and having to wait for it to cool enough to drink it.  I also have a bad habit of burning tea a bit when I make it.  I get in a hurry and put it while the water is still boiling.

Second, I started mixing it up a bit.  All the different teas I use regularly I like pretty well.  Since I refill the pitcher halfway through the day, I basically throw in a random tea bag, add water and put it back in the fridge.  What happens is a concoction of different teas all infusing together each day.

So far, Becca hasn’t really caught on to what I am doing, but she’s commented several times about how good the tea has been lately.  I take that as a good sign.
