    Every time I drive through NC I stop for Q. On I-85, it's Hursey's, on I-95 it's Gardner's. And all the sweet tea I can guzzle.

    Too far north here to get proper sweet tea. Richmond is about the cutoff, although some parts of rural Maryland will have it. Arizona Tea has a southern-style sweet tea for sale in gallon jugs, it's not bad but it's made with high-fructose corn syrup instead of cane sugar, and you can tell the difference.

    You're kidding right?

    Tea must be made with boiling hot water. Otherwise it tastes like my socks have been boiled up. Milk, two sugars.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Oh you poor deluded ex-colonials - how you need to be brought under our protective wing - I mean cold tea with sugar. I know you started going wrong over 200 years ago when you tried to make a nice brew in Boston Harbour - I bet you did not even warm the pot.
    Now tea should be a complete treat - Earl Grey, warmed pot, nice cup or mug, comfy chair, splash of milk, no sugar.
    This summer a daily ritual was get up early, big mug of earl Grey, some light breakfast and the Olympics on the BBC - now that is heaven.

    Honestly, who is really deluded here? "Earl Grey, warmed pot, nice cup or mug, comfy chair, splash of milk, no sugar"? That, or a simple, bigass pitcher of sweet tea? You poor Britons have lost your minds from being cramped up on that tiny island for far too long. No wonder you tried to conquer the world; you were probably getting neurotic from the claustrophobia.

    Maybe a nice conquering spree in South America would alleviate your bizarre tea rituals and obsessions.

    Some things are meant to be sweet, tea is not one of them.

    Seriously, your sitting in a cold office doing boring work, or out doing some physical work on a cold, miserable, wet day - just the kind we like in the UK. So, do you feel like a big glass of cold sugary liquid, or a nice warm mug of tea?

    Its a culture difference

    I like to add a nice squeeze of lime to my sweeted iced tea (approximatley 1 lime per quart). It gives it zip and keeps off the scurvy. I do enjoy a nice hot tea, but never boiled. It doesn't allow the leaves to enfuse the water properly.


    If you'd like a nice milky chai recipe, This is one I use to make when I cooked at an Indian resturant:

    Milk Chai
    In standard measurment (sorry metrics)
    Makes About 1 Gallon
    Spices:
    1 stick cinamon
    1 good pinch cloves
    1 oz fresh crushed cardimon
    A piece of fresh ginger, about the size of two adult male thumbs, freshly crushed (slap it with the side of a cleaver)

    water
    1 gallon milk
    1 cup Red Label Tea (Assam)
    2 cups Sugar

    In a good sized pot (it has to hold more than 1 gallon) place spices, and just cover with water (about an inch to 1/12 inches). Bring to light boil, and cook till cinamon stick opens. Add tea, sugar, milk. Over medium heat, brng just back to very light boil. Milk should be steaming, but little more. If over cooked, you'll make a rather sticky mess when the milk boild over. Strain and serve. Or chill, for a nice iced chai. Can be reheated on stove or microwave.

    C'est ce bon.
