1) Jacksons of Piccadilly - with Lemon
2) Hot water - tea bags - combine - wait 3 mins - drink !

If you have an Asian grocery store near you, you can also get the tea loose (no bags). I just drop a couple teaspoons full into a big teapot and avoid drinking the leaves that settle at the bottom of the cup. You can also half-fill a tea ball (because the leaves will expand when they hit the water) if you the sediment bugs you.

They also have a type called Macha, which is the powdered green tea that the Japanese use for their tea ceremonies. It makes an electric green brew that's strong as hell and will send you to the moon! It's too expensive to use for daily use, though.

can used tea bags be used again? i just cooked up 8 bags in a pot of water(guess it is around 1 liter or a little more. can i take the tea bags out, boil some more H2O & drop them in again? I know I can but how much is lost nutrient wise from the 1st time?

I wouldn't advise it, green tea is so cheap, why cut corners.

well, i wasn't considering it to be "cutting corners" it just seemed to be a waste throwing them away IF they could be used again. just seeing the leaves still inside the bag makes you wonder. i also had a japanese lady tell me they can be used again

8 - 10 bags of lipton green tea in a half gallon container...let it sit in the sun for 1/2 to 3/4 of a day. add ice and enjoy!
BTW...it helps if the temperature is in the 80's
