Cold brew ice tea. Not worth it. Can't taste it. [mi] I thought I'd try those no boil ice tea bags, but they just plain suck fyi. Stick with boiling your water and brewing your tea. Or sunning it.
Well, I don't think that it's so much you can't taste it as that you don't want to taste it. I tried them for awhile, mainly because it was quicker and didn't involve making as much ice, but I've come to the same conclusion as you. It's a step up from the bottled "tea" you buy in the store, but only a small one.

Sun tea is soooo good, and easy.

America's Test Kitchen came to the same conclusion. The only bottled ice tea that I actually like is Tejava, but I like my tea unsweetened.

I've actually been happy with Honest Tea iced tea, but I'm not a huge tea connoisseur, so it's quite possible I don't know what I'm talking about. :-)

Does Honest Tea actually make honest-to-goodness tea? I've only seen their stuff that is, like, "White Tea with Mango and Rose Hips" or "Green Tea/Pomegranate Infusion" or similar. (Okay, I'm making those flavors up, but I'm not far off base.)

Yep. My favorite so far has been Lori's Lemon Tea, but they also have Just Black Tea, Assam Black Tea, and Just Green Tea. I think the trick is looking for the ones that are unsweetened, or labeled "A tad sweet."

Hmmm, looks like I'm lying about the "tad sweet" labels.

But the Lori's Lemon Tea is wonderful. I think it's pretty much perfectly what iced black tea with lemon should taste like.
