What I don't get is iced coffee??? WTH?

That's exactly how it's made down here. You take you boiling pan of tea and add in a cup or two of sugar and then some cold water and put it in the fridge. *grin* And voila! Real sweet tea (and I don't even drink the stuff)

I'm with you on the iced coffee. What's the point, I mean? I like mine good and lukewarm. *grin* Well, see, I like hot coffee, but then I let it simmer on down to lukewarm and guzzle it. And yes, I know I'm strange.

I do the same thing. I make it hot, let it cool a bit and guzzle. Ice in it is WEIRD. Like today. its 40 degrees and one of my Ohio co-workers has some iced coffee with whipped cream on it? Yuck.
