Ok ok… I have to do a little back tracking from my last log. Once we iced this and sweetened it… it tasted like an entirely different tea. What tasted chemically to me isn’t there anymore, I think the sweetener fixed that.
Definitely will NEVER drink this hot again… even the fiance agreed it was “gross” hot, but both of us (and the entire party of people we brought this to on Easter) agree it was a keeper once it was iced and sweetened.
