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

 Great Gift ! November 14, 2007
I love Iced Tea. The recipe for Beach Bourbon Slush is worth the price of the book! We made it one year at the beach and now friends call us ahead of time and say, "You are bringing the Slush?". It is a favorite.
There are non-alcohol drinks that I love too. The spiced iced tea is now a Thanksgiving tradition.
This book makes a great gift too. Even people who never cook, enjoy recipes for drinks. It is pretty, with lots of great photos. The recipes are easy and anyone can make them.
 Not what I expected December 29, 2006

Although these recipes sounded great, they called for many things that are not available here. Plus, these recipes called for so much sugar and or powder mixes of other sugary things, it was not for me. I decided to send it back. Not for a low carb diet.
Interesting little book August 1, 2006
This book contains all sorts of interesting combos with iced tea from typical flavors to punches to adult drinks. I enjoyed reading all of the comments, too. If you like iced tea and want to experiment with taste, this is a book for you.
Everything you might want to know about iced tea. March 13, 2006
_Iced Tea_ by Fred Thompson is a great little book, with dozens of recipes for iced tea. Recipes are divided into
- The Classics,
- Iced Tisanes and Infusions,
- Iced Tea Spritzers,
- Tea for Company,
- Strange Ways with Tea, and
- For Adults Only.
There are instruction along the way for serving iced tea, and details for making sugar syrup and other accompaniments for tea.
An excellent book from which I've already tried some recipes and I'm looking forward to trying more. If you like iced tea and want adventure beyond Lipton's, this is the book for you.
Perfect Gift March 22, 2005

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!
