We just started using a french press to make tea. I am impressed by it's filtering capability. Every other day I like to make a half gallon of hot tea which I let cool, add honey and toss in the fridge. We usually rotate between two of our blends:
1. Perky - ephedra, mint and hibiscus
2. Cota - plus some local mint
We grow or wild harvest most of the ingredients so the cost is close to zero for us. I like to compare the price to what it costs to buy pre-made drinks from grocery stores. Most commercial drinks have ingredients we would not want to drink like high fructose corn syrup and cost several dollars for far less quantity.

I enjoy putting my green tea bags in the sunny kitchen window and make sun tea--sometimes I create my own blends by adding one bag of a peach, or raspberry...Great stuff!!
