Now I know many of you make fresh Sweet Tea or Sun Tea but I love the Mr. coffee tea maker version.
As our good friend Ron P. would say "set it & forget it"
This is a new flavor for us as we usually make it with Bigelow Red Raspberry or a mixture of RR & Peach. Sometimes we even add a little lemon in.
So one of my favorites is four bags of Raspberry & two of peach or three & three. The I love lemon is great in a mixture....
But the new Celestial Seasonings Black Cherry is great. ***** Lots of ice!!!!!!
You can add sugar or Stevia if you like it sweeter but plain is very good. The kids fight over it the three quarts are gone in no time ;) ;) ;)

I am unsweetened ice tea aficionado. Sweet tea is the work of the devil. I used to use the Mr Coffee maker, it did a good job. After trying numerous pre-made teas, and they all had an off taste or after taste. I stumbled on Teajava at Trader Joes. I really like it. I've decided it is the citric acid in the other teas that I don't like. Teajava doesn't have any.

Maybe we can get Gene ( hiker man) to comment about this...I think that if you cold brew using a system like Gene turned me on to ( www.Filtron.com )
for making the richest, smoothest...NO bitterness coffee concentrate you ever had - would work for making a tea concentrate also.
And the Filtron is cheap....about 40 bucks, requires no power, etc...

I was just at the Traders today! I will try the tea but I relay don't think these fruit bags are really tea LOL. I can drink this black cherry stuff by the gallons. ;D ;D ;D
Tee is the thing you are talking about just for coffee or can it be used for tea???

I'm thinking the Filtron wouldn't be much good for tea because if you over steep tea it seems to turn overly acidic (tannic I believe). I will look further into this tho.
UPDATE I checked and Filtron can be used to cold brew tea as well. Just Google using Filtron to cold brew tea. Several how-tos show up.
