#001 | Making my own Iced Coffee.

I love Iced Coffee. I could drink it anytime, anywhere. Whether it is with ice cubes or with blended ice, I LOVE IT.
I pretty regularly buy the ready-made version which contains a lot of things you could do without. Sugar being one of them.

In order to drink yummy iced coffee for less money and with less unhealthy ingredients, I am now trying

That is a great first step. I did that with iced tea a few years ago. Much cheaper and way less sugary and much flavoury and now I can't really stand the store stuff anymore.

I will do tea in the summer, too. But I will buy a really nice flavour for that. No supermarket tea. But the apple-tea you can buy at Aldi was always a great iced tea. :)

Anyways. Yes. Much better alternative for coffee and tea alike. :D

I usually use black tea and fresh lemon. Make the tea in the morning when I come to the office, let it cool down the entire day, add lemon before leaving and put it in the fridge.

With fruit tea and herbal tea I usually don't do anything to it anymore and just let it cool down in the summer, but drink it the same way as in winter preparationwise.

Sounds yummy. :)
And I have so much tea here, I really should start using it. :)

So very yummy!

I am such a tea addict. Still mourning the fact that my tea dealer moved away and I have to order on the internet now.

That is sad, indeed. :(

Yeah, he knew my taste and when a new blend would come in, he could tell me which other blends that I liked it relates to and how he things I will like it and mostly he was spot on and now I just have to buy and eventually drink my way through a blend I don't like. Because unless it is horrible and makes me gack, I can't throw tea away.

And no, this isn't my biggest problem, but many of the bigger ones would be so much easier if I would not have to drink my way through mediocre tasting tea while trying to solve them.

I totally get it. I never throw tea out, either, unless it is really really bad. So I can relate. :)
