Globe Amaranth Oolong Iced Tea. I made a gallon today.

Making this was kind of an… adventure. Sometimes, flying by the seat of your pants actually works out! I could have done without the impromptu game of curling, though.

Once I’d steeped my tea in my biggest pot, I had to strain it into a secondary vessel. The only one big enough that could handle the heat was a wok. But it fit! Once it was strained I put it back in the pot, which I then put outside in the snow to cool down. The snow underneath melted unevenly, and it almost slid right off my back steps, but I managed to retrieve it before it could go over the edge. I poured it all into my brand new gallon beverage dispenser and it all fit very nicely… which was slightly surprising, since I didn’t measure a single thing in this whole process using more than my eye.
