Well the only thing I disagree with you about is the fridge part, it clouds the tea! And as a true son of the South, and afficianado of all types of hot tea, I can verify that in our household the ONLY tea we use for iced tea is good ole Luzianne!
Even though we live way far north now, I still have a standing order with the Cajun Grocery online to send us our MUST HAVE LUZIANNE!
Sometimes mine gets cloudy, sometimes not. It seems to depend on the temp it reaches when brweing, not certain. And Luzianne is the stuff!
