Search for the Perfect Iced Tea

Now that I have the iced tea ingenuitea, I am pondering iced tea blends. It would be easy to buy a blended tea, of course, but for the first couple of pots, I am going to try it myself.

What I want is minty, lemony, and green, but not grassy. Maybe ginger.

So for the first pot . . . I think I will combine half gunpowder, one-quarter peppermint and one-quarter lemongrass. I will chop up a two inch piece of ginger and steep that with the green.

I am going to make a test pot first and if it works, then I will make a pot.

Rishi has an intriguing blend called Peppermint Ginger, that I may recreate this afternoon.
