*grins* Thank you very much, from one connessieur to another.
And of course, milk goes first. *winks*
I actually started drinking herbals before I went to regular (hot) blacks, oolongs and greens. I have several health issues that I have always preferred to treat holistically, and tea is a major part of my daily routine. Dragonsclaw tincture for my arthritis masked by a fragrant cup of something soothing for my headaches have been part of my daily preventative for as long as I can remember. I'm a bit of an amateur (for myself only, of course) apothecary, growing and making my own recipes under the tutelage of a local holistic healer.
Iced tea is as much a part the culture in the South as drawls and tractor pulls. *grins* And with a hippie revivalist mother, I was born to discover the joys of tea as they were truly meant to be consumed.... hot and fragrant. *grins*
