Adventures of Frankentea, ctd
I like to use the random teabags Republic of tea sends me.
So:
1 bag of Republic of Tea Chocolate Strawberry caffeeine free red-something-rooibos?
3 bags of Trader Joe's decaf irish breakfast
Since the choc-strawberry smelled a little like a weird valentines scratch and sniff, I cut the steep time to a mere 5 minutes.
Steeped in a container half full of boiling water.
Removed teabags.
Filled container rest of way with cold (filtered - no schyukill punch here) water. Then chilled overnight.
Results: Well, it's definitely weird, but it's not awful. I'm not sure bitmonger will drink it, though. I'm not sure he'll even try it. He was pretty skeptical. Might work sweetened. Chocolate flavor fairly pronounced. Drinkable, but weird.
