I bought the large IngenuiTea and started using it to make cold tea by the
Cold Water Method. Whenever I open the refrigerator during the first few hours, I'm slow closing the door because I get captivated by the leaves floating around. It's very soothing, just like an aquarium, but I'm getting concerned about my electric bill because I've been keeping the door open so much, not to mention what the rising temperature's doing to my food. Yes, any clear pitcher or other container would do as well. I just never thought about trying the Cold Water Method befo 1. Measure tea and water into container - I'm using 1 tsp per 8 oz. 2. Set container in refrigerator overnight or for at least 6 hours 3. Strain 4. Enjoy clear, refreshing, cold tea. So far, I've tried decaf Darjeeling (the most active), decaf green, decaf black w/ apricot, and decaf sencha w/apricot (this left a lot of tiny leaf pieces to clean out - not easy), and all were excellent. -- ~~Bluesea~~ Spam is great in musubi but not in email.
