SO HOW'D IT GO?
Sometimes I just put the tea in the fridge. It takes longer, but it happens. I just pour warm water into the jug. I would definitely say you could make it in the winter by a window or something.
I used green tea and I found an orange in my fridge that I sliced up in it. I didn't start my tea until two in the afternoon, so I don't think the water got hot enough to get a strong tea, but with the orange and a few drops of stevia, it was still good chilled.
