No no. This is a nation that has entire aisles devoted to electric kettles. It doesn't taste the same. I've made it a couple different times and it never tasted the same as it did back home. I can't figure out why. Perhaps the tea is different? I don't know who that Earl Grey fellow is but he don't know diddly squat about iced tea ;-). Seriously, it doesn't taste the same, don't ask me why.
