  2. Anyone out there curious enough about the stuff to have tried it? A few years ago, my dad came home from the grocery store with a box of it. He said he saw it on the shelf and thought of me. I, of course, was just thrilled about that. So I heated up some water and made some tea.

     

    It was gross. Wow. And now I had a whole box of it to go through. So as I made more cups, I tried adding different things like sugar and lemon juice. Once I dumped a whole small cup of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream in there.

     

    But the more I drank it, the more it grew on me and now I like it just plain. Haven't had much of it lately because I try to avoid caffeine, but recently found some non-caffeinated Earl Grey. Jackpot.
