I live in Oklahoma (blah). When someone asks if you want tea, it is sweetened cold ice tea. And I mean VERY sweetened.

What is the difference between this kind of tea and the kind English drink?

What do they add in their tea and how do they make it?

My boss gave me some imported green tea that a foreign student had given her because she does not drink green tea. She gave me a box containing Vietnamese green tea and a sealed can containing Chinese green tea. When i got home I opened the box of Vietnamese tea to see nothing but dried and crumpled tea leaves. I have only made tea in tea bags and am unsure how to prepare tea from straight leaves. Thanks in advance.

I have an entire of box of celestial seasoning chai tea bags and would like to try it with milk, but i’m unsure how to do it. Are you suppose to brew it in hot water first and then add it to the milk? Getting that water/milk mixture. I know it would be easier with a mix, but I have none right now. How do they make it in restaurants and such? They make it taste so good. Anyone know any good recipes?
