Eaves or bags at tea indefinitely. In general, cold tea beer takes much longer than when tea tea in hot water.
Play ice cream:
If you are not sure how sweet your guests are going to want your tea, it is better to avoid adding tea sweetener until you are ready to drink it. Sugar and other sweeteners can not be removed, so if you add too much, or if someone wants to drink ice cream without sugar, you are stuck. You can always add more to taste at the time of the drink. However, sugar dissolves much more slowly in cold water, so be sure to allow enough time for any sugar or honey added to dissolve. Another common solution is to prepare two lots, one sweetened and one without sugar.
Minimizing the use of energy (promoting sustainability):
Both heating water and cooling to cool water use energy. If you drink ice cream, you can reduce your energy use in several ways:
Your own
iced tea is prepared, using loose tea. Avoid bottled teas, who use more energy and resources in their production and shipping.
BREW A lot of leaf to make a hot concentrate.
Tea, which then dilutes in a greater amount of water, this reduces the amount of energy required to heat the water. Allow an aged or warm and hot iced tea container to cool to room temperature before adding ice or placing it in a refrigerator, this reduces the amount of energy required to cool the tea. Experiment with cold preparation tea: this does not use energy to heat the water. However, keep in mind that some tea bag tea marketed as "cold refreshed" teas may have used more energy and resources in their production that loose leaf tea is not designed specifically for the elaboration of cold beer. If you use air conditioning, consider going back on your thermostat a few degrees and drinking more ice cream to stay cool.
Keurig is a brand of the brewing machine, which can be used to drink coffee, tea and other drinks, but is most commonly used for coffee. Keurig Brewing Machines use pre-packaged mugs called K-CUPS. The Keurig brand and the beer processing system are total property of green mountain coffee toasters.
This article explains why the Keurig / K-Cup system is not ideal for tea: it is expensive, poor for sustainability, and is not suitable for making high quality teas.
The Keurig / K-Cup system works by forcing hot water through the K-Cup packages. The K-CUPS are used only once, and then removed, although there are reusable K-Cup filters, which can be used for coffee grounds or even loose tea.
Price and cost per cup.
Teas in k-cups are more expensive than even award-winning tea.
The K-CUPS are extremely expensive in relation to artisan teas even high-end. For example, from sailing through the Green Mountain Coffee October 2013 online store, most K-CUPS boxes of the main tea brands such as Bigelow and the celestial condiments cost $ 15.49, producing a cost per cup of more than 64 cents.
