Screwtape at
I've been a tea-drinker for years, but having experienced tepid and room-temperature tea, the idea of "iced tea" sounded thoroughly revolting. But, my parents had a bottle of peach-flavoured ice-tea, and it wasn't too bad, so I decided to try making my own.
In particular, I filled a mug with boiling water, dropped a tea-bag into it, waited 4 minutes (my usual span) then took the tea-bag out and dissolved a teaspoon of honey into it. Finally, I stuck it in the fridge for a few hours.
When it was cold, I pulled it out, sprinkled some ice-cubes into it, and... ugh. Not as disgusting as room-temperature tea, but still quite bitter. Maybe it needs more honey?
I normally have tea with milk and no sugar, but I assume milk in iced tea Just Wouldn't Work; I've never heard of anybody ever trying it.
