when i was a kid, tang was the known brand for panghimagas orange juice and then came eight o 'clock. and of course there was nestea iced lemon tea! everything comes in powder and in tetra packs! hehe. nestea iced tea was a wonderful treat at home.
one hot, summer day, we ran out of nestea (not that it was a staple at home. as mentioned, it was just a treat.) papa boiled some water, dumped in a few liption yellow tea bags, some sugar, calamansi, and tons of ice. and it dawned on my childhood brain that iced tea is simply just "iced" tea! yes, it was obvious, but i didn't know it was one and the same! haha ang labo ko. i was surprised at how it tasted so similar to nestea, and even better! so there goes the history of how i came to know how iced tea is made. :) well, the powdered iced tea is another story.
a few weeks ago, we didn't have juice on a hot day. i used the same ingredients that my papa did, but as we don't have yellow tea, i used green tea.
verdict: hmmm... hindi masarap. toinks!
let's just stick to yellow tea, pokka even! :p
