Summer is hot. Iced Tea is cold. Natural fit. Also, because I am trying to cut down on espresso and the dreaded Sugar Free Red Bull, I have decided to move on to Iced Teas. Within the last year or so, a David's Tea opened on my street. I had not yet stepped foot in the place, but did so today and was pleasantly surprised! I purchased several teas, an iced tea pitcher, and some agave syrup. Here is what went down: ![]() While these instructions look great, the reality is that they will not work in an apartment like mine. We have an old fridge. Why does this matter? It means that we have no ice maker, and regardless of how clean the freezer is, how much baking soda we put in it, and how often we replace the ice trays, it always makes funky smelling/tasting ice. So, unless I have a bag of ice on hand (which takes up half of the freezer space), it is refrigerated beverages here, sans ice. So, see below how I adapted it to apartment living...

I have the spring loaded steeper. #lifechanging!!! And prob 12 different flavors of tea at any given time. I have a massive sweet tooth. When I crave bad things I make the birthday cake tea (hot or iced) then add a dash of coconut milk creamer. Obsessed!

Do you still put in the 8 perfect spoonfuls of tea (or the equivalent) even though you're preparing differently? And how does it work for you? I just got a perfect pitcher and am in the same situation as you with the ice/apartment situation and I'm still trying to figure out how much tea to use!

I think that 4 of the spoons is enough if you are brewing this way!
