Today was a warm balmy day on the otherwise-to-date frigid east coast. Having just returned from a sunny respite in Mexico where I sipped iced tea, I thought: can’t wait to do so in my garden. I fell in love with it when we were served delicious tea in this Tea Forte Tea-Over-Ice Pitcher.

Packaged in beautiful pyramid boxes, the tea infusers are individually handcrafted, of open weave fabric that allows the water to flow freely around the teas. For iced tea, steep for 2-4 minutes, 208°F. Flash chill by pouring over ice.
