In 1904, English tea plantation owner Richard Blechynden set up a booth to sell hot tea at the St. Louis World Fair. It was a sizzler of a day, and fair visitors didn't want anything hot. Rather, they needed something to quench their thirst... something cold. He dumped some of his hot tea into ice and served it cold. It was an immediate hit. This was the first known use of iced tea.

I got some jars and put tea leaves, water and some sugar in each. In one jar I put a splash of lemon juice, in the other kombucha because that's somewhat sour. I put them on the windowsill. Now I'm wondering if I should have looked up some directions or something. The results will be 'interesting' if nothing else. Can't imagine anything bad can grow in there as tea is a natural antiseptic and antibacterial or whatever. So is sugar. Looking forward to the result.
How many days do I have to wait?
