How to make it: fill a 2-quart canning jar (my iced tea-making vessel of choice) with 4 black tea bags and boiling water. Let cool to room temperature and then refrigerate. When you're ready to drink it, get your glass, add half a packet of stevia, juice from half a lemon, a dash of rosewater and 3-4 ice cubes, then fill up the rest of the glass with your chilled iced tea. You can flavor and sweeten the whole batch at once, but it's not as much fun. Also, I realize my instructions might sound a little obsessive compulsive, it's just that I've had a lot of time to perfect it; and those are the right proportions, I promise.

I’ve been working from home these past few weeks, organizing, logging and internally processing the footage and material collected on my trip in June.*  As I’ve been doing so, I have also been sipping on my new favorite iced tea invention.  It really tastes like something special (if I do say so myself), and since it’s also slightly middle-eastern inspired I thought I’d post it here so that anyone who wishes can see what my footage logging experience of these past weeks has been tasting like.
