I have a headache due to stupid unconscious teeth-clenching, and hit snooze multiple times, but also have a trainer session in 30 minutes. Don't wanna go, but must.
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

Skipping a ton to say my google-fu is failing me.
I want to make a big thing of iced tea, but I *CANNOT* find anyone who can tell me how many bags of normal tea (like you would use to make a hot cup, NOT the pre-prepared "iced tea" bags) to use per gallon.
They either don't say at all, or give USELESS MEASUREMENTS THAT DON'T TRANSLATE to how many bags of my Earl Grey I need to use.
PLEASE HELP!

Well, you use one teabag to make a mug of tea, which is about 12 ounces, right? A gallon is 64 ounces. So I'd use 5-6 teabags per gallon, if you're going to make regular strength hot tea and then chill it. If you plan to make extra-strength hot tea and then cool it with ice, thus diluting it, the math changes.

Huh. Simple math. Never thought of that. Thanks, flea!

Uh, except there are actually 128 ounces in a gallon. So, double that 5-6 bags per gallon.
I make sun tea with 4 bags in a gallon jug, but I like weak tea.

Our wings are not tired.
I use 4 bags. We find that plenty strong.

I love the flash mob. But, the thing that gets me is the first comment on the youtube video ("If I ran into this in public, I'd shit my pants from pure happiness"
Between this and the "Avengers" recent discussion, I cannot stop laughing.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
We spent the afternoon buying a lawnmower and unpacking more kitchen things. We probably emptied a dozen boxes, but there is so much more to do. Someone tell me we will eventually unpack everything and find a place for everything. Lie to me.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Sean, the general rule for hot tea is 1 bag per 6oz of hot water, but I find cold tea has a stronger taste, so I would normally use about 1 bag per 8 oz for iced.
That's a great flash mob.
