OK, so I'm hearing all these good things about green tea.....how it's great
for dieting, it has antioxidants, it can cure death, it could've gotten
Gilligan off the island, it'll eventually hunt down and kill Osama bin
Laden, blah blah blah. So anyway, here's my question: I've never been a
tea drinker. Never. Never liked the stuff. But tonight I decided to buy a
box of it, and I'd like to try a glass of iced green tea....but I don't know
how to make it. I don't see any instructions on the box, and what I've
found on the internet confuses me.
I admit, I'm an idiot. An idiot who would appreciate help from anyone.
Thanks.

open up the little envelope, take out a paper packet, put it UNBROKEN
into a cup, pour hot water, wait.

The instructions on Trader Joe's green tea say to bring water to a boil
then let cool for five minutes, then add water to a cup and let tea bag
steep for 2 minutes, dunking the bag a couple times.
If you're going to make ice tea, you might want to use two bags, since
the ice cubes will probably dilute the flavor to some degree. It's
kinda/sorta bland enough to begin with, imho.
I drink a pint of decaf after breakfast and dinner.
