For Christmas 2 years ago, I was given a teaset and a bag of sassafras blend tea courtesy of http://tealeaves.com.au/ as they lived in Melbourne. Given that my dad is a total tea nut to the point that he always gets gifts of expensive teas whenever he pops back to China on a business trip - I guess I've completely inherited his penchant for good teas. So was rather disappointed to discover that access to said tea from this particular shop would cost me a flat rate of $9 regardless of the tea (which was also pretty pricey).
As temperatures go up, so does my taste for making iced teas - for which the http://tealeaves.com.au/store/75801-Sassafras-Blend was perfect for. Being fruity without being high in tannin taste. This meant that I needed to source something similar that was a bit closer to home...
Enter http://t2tea.com/tea/scented-flavoured/black/black-rose/ which smelled deliciously fruity strong - an essential point to look for when choosing something to make a fruity iced tea as I really like being able to taste the 'fruity' part.
So all I basically needed to do was go with my tired-and-true method of making the tea in a coffee/tea filter jug with hot water and 3 teaspoons of white sugar. Sit until cool, then bottle and place in the fridge...
