Great to hear from you and the iced tea with mint sounds lovely (recipe please).
Start with one family sized bag of Lipton's Black Tea for iced tea. Then add a bag of Celestial Seasoning's Peppermint Tea. Contrary to usual Southern fare, we prefer it unsweetened to enjoy the flavor.
On a ski trip to Colorado some years ago, we toured the Celestial Seasonings headquarters in Boulder. They stock all manner of teas from around the world. Natural peppermint is so pungent they keep it in a sealed room. You're welcome to enter, but are warned of its, er potency. Breathe in and it will open your sinuses for sure! You are presented with a "I survived the mint room" sticker afterwards.
Last time wifey was there, she brought back a case. PM me and I'll send you a box. Naturally, we also keep some Twinings (of London of course!) Earl Grey and Irish Breakfast tea on hand for when we want it hot.
We aren't entirely uncooth! :)

LOL -- I know what you mean about potency.
Years ago, when I was house painting, we worked for over a week painting every building on a peppermint farm. We were there for the harvest, and still there when they brought the mulch back (from the distillery that extracts the peppermint oil) and spread it on the fields.
Got to the point where the smell of mint actually made me nauseous. Couldn't drink mint tea or eat mint candy for several years afterwards.
Thanks for the recipe idea. Unfortunately the Liptons black tea blend for making iced tea would be hard to find over here. As is Liptons in general these days. Celestial Seasonings can be found so I will keep an eye out for it.
Many thanks for your kind offer of sending me a box of tea. However importing foodstuffs into the EU can be , um, complex as can the inverse action.
A while back wifey and I along with one of her brother's family visited Glacier National Park in Montana. Beautiful sights. Since it borders Canada, we decided to take a day trip and see what they call Waterton Lake Park on the other side. My sister in law brought a couple of oranges, but didn't eat them. Returning at the US border, customs seized them saying "they lost their citizenship"!
I get produce, but tea bags? :)
