Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
In Iced Tea, author Fred Thompson serves up 50 vibrant variations on "the house wine of the South," using black, green, and oolong teas ("considered by some to be the Lafite Rothschild of teas") as well as tisanes, which are teas made not from tea leaves but from flowers, herbs, and spices. Recipes range from Southern-Style Iced Tea--a basic formula of tea, water, and sugar--to Teatotaler's Sangria, which combines chilled green tea with peaches, oranges, and other fresh fruits. Other notable concoctions include the tropically tinged Bimini Island Iced Tea; Cha Yen, or Thai Iced Tea, which uses condensed and evaporated milk; and the classic Sweet Tea, whose main ingredient is sugar--and lots of it. ("A visitor to the South once said that it made his teeth hurt," writes the author.) There's also a section of mixed alcoholic drinks.

"Tea is the world's second most popular beverage, after water," says Thompson, and it has noted health benefits; its consumption has been linked to lower instances of cancer and strokes. Iced Tea should help readers pursue good health--and have a delicious time doing it. --Andy Boynton

Product Description
Nothing beats a frosty glass of home-brewed iced tea. And now there's no excuse not to enjoy it year-round, with everything from classics to infusions to spritzers to offbeat and cocktail teas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another "niche" cookbook, but a good one, September 30, 2002
By Catherine S. Vodrey (East Liverpool, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Fred Thompson's "Iced Tea" is a small and likeable volume filled with not only recipes, but everything you ever wanted to know about this summertime drink. He covers everything from the rules and techniques for brewing a great glass of tea (from which a great glass of ICED tea may be made) to what other countries like to serve in their iced tea glasses.

I learned quite a bit from this slim volume. For instance, why Southerners like their "sweet tea" so sweet (read the book to find out!) and how tea can be used in a fantastically good smoothie (again, read the book!). This would make a lovely hostess gift for some summer weekend at the beach!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Gift, March 22, 2005
By Biscuit Gal (Knoxville, TN) - See all my reviews
This book finally reveals the secret to a great glass of Iced Tea. It even has a frozen bourbon iced tea that is perfect when I entertain friends.

This book makes a great gift. I received it as a gift and now give it to friends for wedding gifts with a tea pitcher and glasses, and Fred Thompson's Lemonade book. Everyone loves it!
