New trick for summer ice tea...saves money too...

Every summer I find myself focusing on iced tea.  I love it.  I like making sun tea, for the added vitamin D.  I usually have a few jugs of Arizona Diet Ginseng Tea (actually green tee with ginseng) around and fill bottles with them, add ice, and I'm off to wherever...

But this year I'm doing things a bit differently.  A few tea companies, including Arizona, have lovely little tea powder packets.  So, instead, I fill drink bottles half-way full of water and stick them in the freezer.  Then, when I'm going someplace I toss a couple of them in my bag.  When I want to drink some tea I add water and a tea packet, and ...voila...

P.S. This also works with sports drinks -- Gatorade makes tins of powder.  Not as convenient, but if you keep a tin where you are going to be, you are set. Also works with lemonade.

But still, my fav frugal version is to make my own iced tea (sun tea best) and add bottled lemon and lime juice and a sweetener other than sugar and put this in bottles and freeze it.  It will thaw slowly and you can have icy tea wonder all day...:-)
