From the Stash Tea Company (see Links page for details), here is a great new iced tea recipe. The recipe calls for sparkling water, but I used sparkling water with lemon. Any strong black tea can be substituted for Irish Breakfast.
4 Irish Breakfast tea bags
1 1/3 cups boiling water
1 1/3 cups apricot nectar
1 1/3 cups sparkling water
lemon slices or wedges, for garnish
In a heat-resistant pitcher, pour water over tea bags. Steep for 10-15 minutes, or until desired strength. Chill for about 1 hour.
Stir in apricot nectar and sparkling water. Serve over ice with lemon slices or wedges, as desired.
Try experimenting with different flavors of nectar, such as peach, pear, papaya or guava. Nectar is typically at the store in the juice aisle, but can also be found with the Mexican-style foods.

Looks nice and refreshing Jen.
Are all your recipes from cookbooks?

Most of the tea recipes I found online, through google or another website. I try to post the websites with each recipe…
Have you cooked anything lately?

Thousand Island? I have not heard that one before…I’ve used Russian before though
Okay, okay…point taken. James is looking into making a message board.
