Tea

All of those sound great, except I haven't try verbena yet, but my very favorite is Sage tea. My mom and grandma introduced it to us and my sisters and I love it. It is supposed to be a mild diuretic though, so be aware! Lovely flavor and it doens't make you think of dressing at all, I promise!

I use a pot with a strainer insert. The leaves go in the insert then when the tea has brewed you can take it out of the pot. I also use a stainer over my cup when I use loose leaves in my regular pot.

I have one of those also and they're great when you want more than one cup of tea.

Canadians have a much better understanding of tea than the vast majority of Americans (inventors of instant coffee ).

It probably wouldn't even have occurred to a Canadian to use a microwave to make tea.

The only tea I make in the microwave is heat the water for hot iced tea (I use ice tea powder and drink it hot)

We use the powdered sweeted ice tea mix because we don't drink cold tea as iced tea. It is always a big shock to a Canadian to order ices tea for the first time in the US and get cold tea with ice in it instead of the mixed stuff we're used to at home.

If you order iced tea in the South it comes with enough sugar to rot your teeth.

So it is cold tea with sugar already added? They must add it when its still warm or else ist is hard to dissolve in the cold tea.

Yes they add the sugar when it's still warm but it has ice in it when served. They drink it mainly when the weather gets really hot.. It takes a little getting used to.
