Hawaiian Plantation Iced Tea
"I first tasted this tea in a popular Italian restaurant in my college
hometown of Kailua. I have been craving it ever since, and have
experimented with a few proportions. Add more tea leaves for a stronger
tea, but do not steep longer or the tea will end up tasting bitter. (If
it does, add a pinch of baking soda.) Always make something to your
liking! This is also great to serve at showers."
