I'll bet Texannie never dreamed how this thread would turn out, just because she posted the recipe for Avacado Toast the other day...

Iced tea:

1) see Gal's "how to boil water" section
2) see Tex's "hot tea" section
3) see "how to make ice"
4) Fill plastic (not glass) glass with ice
5) pour tea (step 2) into glass

Once again, if you see Jesus in your plastic glass, you have no options but to just drink it.

Fancy Iced Tea

Follow steps 1-6 above.
7) add one or two fresh mint leaves.

Was Aarti's show on today? I thought they said it would be on this Sunday. Maybe it starts next Sunday? I see a listing for Aug. 29th.

Your tea recipes are too complicated for me.....

Ice Tea
Fill 2 qt container with tap water. Take 3-4 tea bags (adjust qty to taste) and place in container. Put lid on container and place in fridge. Wait a few hours and you'll have "refridgerator tea" ready and waiting.

Variation: for even colder tea, before pouring tea into your favorite tumbler, hold tumbler up to ice machine installed in front of fridge. Press lever to make ice fall out into tumbler. Fill tumbler with tea and enjoy!

Hot Tea
Fill 1 mug with tap water
place mug in microwave
Nuke water for a minute or two (or until you see water start to boil)
Place 1 tea bag into hot water and let steep until tea is of desired strength.

Hint: if you already have a jug of refridgerator tea in the fridge, you can pour already made tea into mug, nuke as directed above, and enjoy!

I thought it was great. She explained things well and made things I might try to cook but, without her show, wouldn't necessarily make. Her on-screen persona was great, too, and she has a way of finishing sentences with a giggle that's absolutely endearing.

Who, I'm not trying to make a mountain out of a molehill, but for your recipe for colder tea, does one have to change the amount of water poured into the container to allow for the ice melting?

Thanks for asking that question, Lexie. I am SO confused, lol! And I'm not sure what "to taste" means? Are we supposed to suck on the tea bags or something?

Lexie, you just have to know ahead of time that you want colder tea, and put more tea bags in to make the tea stronger in the first place. Then when the ice melts, its perfect!

Well, it sounds like this recipe would certainly take a lot of planning on my part.

Well, you could always make two containers of tea. One stronger for the colder tea with ice, and one at regular strength.

The other option is to just make the tea stronger no matter what. Then add water if you choose to drink it at fridge temp without ice.

Personally, I think Who's tea recipe may be a little too complicated for our recipe book.

Sheesh! I try to accomodate the multitudes, and look where it got me!

OK, let's simplify it.

Make tea stronger than you'd normally drink it.

When you pour yourself a glass, add water (from the refridgerator's water dispenser, located next to the ice dispenser) until the tea's strength is to your taste.

If you want it colder, add ice instead of water!

Better?

I don't find the giggle quite so endearing. That said, I liked her show even though I can't eat most of what she made (allergy issues).

Yhis thread has made me LAUGH and LAUGH and LAUGH. Missed Aarti's first episode, does it show again soon?

PS for boiled water:

Get pan
Put water in it
Put stove on high
Put pan with water on stove
DO NOT WATCH or it will NEVER boil.

Amen.

Geez, Food Network. Great way to create (or promote) your newest "star." I missed Sunday's show, and it doesn't appear it'll air in a rerun before the next new show. They replay the same crap over and over again, but they can't rerun the half hour show from their newest "star"?

Huh. It seems Aarti and her husband have had their own Aarti Paarti on Youtube for quite some time. Here's an early episode from 2009:
