Ok, all the times ive been to the US i love the iced tea. You probably hate the stuff but anyway. Thing is how do you make 'good' iced tea. Ive tried making it but it just comes out cloudy and not exactly nice. No where near as nice as i had over there. I know its not exactly hard to make tea and cool it down but im doing somehitng wrong. So if anyone has a good method please let me know!

You're actually looking to make sun tea I take it? The kind where you use teabags then cool it down, add sugar, lemon, etc. If so, I'm not sure there's an actual recipe for it. *shrug*

if you can buy iced tea bags in the UK, buy Lipton Iced Tea Bags. All you do is boil however much water the serving calls for, then pour the boiling water over two tea bags. Let the bags steep for 3-5 minutes. (depending on how strong you want the brew to be) Then it's gonna have to chill, if you put ice in it, it will just melt and water down the tea. I love iced tea...believe me. But its very easy to come by in the states. Hope this helps!!

I wouldn't want to be held responsible when the poor guy goes into withdrawal after a few car packages of Gallikers

It sucks so bad not having it, and im only 3 hours away. I found a Kmart out here that had it but they stopped selling it the second week i was out here. so now everytime i come home i buy about 15-20 dollars worth and bring it back out with me. I have more iced tea in my car than clothing on my way back out here.
