Earl Grey. Not iced, but I love it with snus

This would be a good thread for Snusgetter, he's the TeaGod

[jumissa]

yeh i love hot earl grey too when its cold or i have been out for long or some like that but have found ice tea more comfy at work and next summer back in air force again

[fishmeat]

I have found Snapple Lemon Tea to compliment the General line-up of snus especially Onyx and Sterk White. Arizona Green Tea with Honey and Southern Style Brewed Sweet Tea are good and not overly sweet, slightly bitter to me which allows other flavors in the snus to come out. Just my two cents...

One thing that is really good (if you can get it in Finland) is Sobe Green Tea & Got's Green Snus.

Unsweetened iced tea is my drink of choice. Earl Grey is a favorite, and I also use flavored teas mixed in with straight tea. Depending on flavor I'll mix it with various straights which include black, green, and oolong. My favorite mix is probably ginger peach mixed with green. I use 4 tea bags(2 flavored, 2 straight, or 4 straight) to make 2L of tea. I bring 2L of water to a boil, then turn off the heat, and put 4 tea bags in the pot. Once it's completely cooled down(minimum 4 hours), I put it in a pitcher in the fridge. Sometimes it sits in the pot as long as 24 hours. 4 is the minimum for cooling, but after that, you can get to when the mood strikes, or when you remember it.

hopefully my avatar shows properly now well if it does that is me about 1year ago with my purchaced Finnish Air Force Non-Commanding Officers sports jacket on (u have to buy ur sportsware if u dont want to use force´s own trust me this is way better than them )

back to topic: so LX how u would sweeten up that set of 2L if i would like it neutral but not necessarily "sweet"?

edit: Avatar works !

I wouldn't sweeten it :^P It can take a short while to get used to if you're used to sugary drinks, but unsweetened tea is much more sublime, and doesn't leave a nasty "converted sugar" taste in your mouth. In addition to that, it won't put on weight, and is more refreshing in the summer.

If you must use sugar, I really don't know. I'd suggest starting light, and increasing it slowly to taste. It's easy to add more, but hard to take it out. I'd probably start with 100g-200g for the 2L, and adjust from there.

[jumissa]

ill might just try it out unsweetened at first because never really drunk any teas w/o some kind of sweetener before

all and all sounds easy, cheap and doable.. gotta find some big bottles to take the stuff with me..

[jumissa]

just testing new sig..

edit: which worked! ya!

[lxskllr]

Crap, I suggested way too much sugar to start with. I was trying to convert to metric to help you out, and mixed mass and volume. I'll give you our retarded units, and you can convert :^D Start with 4oz-8oz of sugar by VOLUME per 2L of tea, and adjust from there.

Damn I wish we'd get on track with the rest of the world, and start using a first world measuring system instead of the primitive monkey measuring we do :^S
