I live in an area with a large Greek population so this coffee is available at most of the grocery stores, but it can also be bought online. It is a fine grind, so it does not do well in the press. I use a small pot.

For iced tea, I use a cold brew process, which simply involves placing the tea bags in a pitcher of filtered water and allow it to sit at room temp for a couple of hours, then remove the tea bags and refrigerate. I like this method because the tea does not become cloudy or bitter. I sweeten it with a small amount of raw cane sugar or sometimes honey.

I use a french press, and i also add cinnamon, vanilla or nutmeg to the grounds. I have an electric tea kettle which i use for the water, as the press works best if the water is boiling. 1/2 and 1/2 is all i add to mine.

I can use very inexpensive coffee (Don Franciscan hawaiian blend) with the press, and it tastes like gourmet.

I drink sun tea that is NEVER sweet, and hot tea with sweetener and cream.

I never even thought of sweetening iced tea with honey. My above mentioned friend also suggested using it in coffee....I'm going to have to experiment now

(I also prefer raw cane sugar!)

Turkish press coffee makers require a finer coffee ground...may be worth the investment. Plus, I find them very pretty.
