Iced tea

Instant tea is manufactured in the United States, Japan, Kenya, Chile, Sri Lanka, India, and China. Production and consumption in the United States is greater than in the rest of the world. World production capacity of instant teas depends on market demand but is in the range of 8,000 to 11,000 t/yr (3). The basic process for manufacture of instant tea as a soluble powder from dry tea leaf includes extraction, concentration, and drying. In practice, the process is considerably more compHcated because of the need to preserve the volatile aroma fraction, and produce a product which provides color yet is soluble in cold water, all of which are attributes important to iced tea products (88). 

The melting of ice absorbs heat from the surroundings, which might be the water in a glass of iced tea. The temperature of the surroundings drops, perhaps from 25°C to 3°C, as they give up heat to the system. 

Martini drinkers don t drink Long Island iced tea. It hasn t got an M.B.A. 

Long Island iced tea doesn t roll off the tongue in a class environment, said Dale DeGroff, author of The Craft of the Cocktail, and for twelve years the head bartender at the Rainbow Room. 

At Park Avalon on Park Avenue South, a hangar-size boutique-hotel-lobby-style restaurant and bar, Jennifer Schumacher, the bartender, served her Long Island iced tea in a utilitarian-looking milkshake glass. 

What s wrong, isn t it any good she asked, when two minutes passed and half of it hadn t disappeared. The Park Avalon puts beer in its Long Island iced tea, too—a kind of everybody s invited move not inappropriate to the drink s basic thinking. 

At the Duplex on Sheridan Square, the blond-goateed bartender upstairs, who gave his name as C.T., served his Long Island iced tea in a pear-shaped punch glass, shooting the Coca-Cola into it with his mixer hose like a man who could spit on your head from fourteen stories up. 

In a shaker, mix all the liquid ingredients except sour mix and Coke shake and pour into a 12-ounce glass with ice. Fill the glass to /2 inch from the top with sour mix. Add Coke until the drink is the color of weak iced tea. Garnish with a lemon wedge.

In the U.S., most black tea leaf79 is used for iced tea preparation. This is made from a hot infusion or by extraction over a period of many hours at ambient temperature. The latter product is sometimes referred to as sun tea and consists of a relatively dilute beverage. Sugar and lemon are common additives. 

Instant tea produced as described above will dissolve completely in hot water but not in cold water, as the caffeine-polyphenol complexes are insoluble under those conditions. Since virtually all instant tea manufacture in the U.S. is for iced tea preparation, process modification is required. This initial extract may be cooled to 5 to 10°C and the cold water insoluble material or cream be allowed to precipitate. Under these conditions, 20 to 35% of the extract solids may be separated by centrifugation. The supernatant solids will reconstitute in cold water after concentration and drying.105 It is also possible to process the cream to make a portion of it compatible with the product and thereby retain the caffeine and some polyphenolic components that are present in this fraction.106 Commercial use of the enzyme Tannase, which removes gallic acid from gallated tea polyphenols107 and reduces cream formation108 can be used to reduce cream losses and manufacture instant teas retaining more of the natural polyphenol content. 

London auction prices for tea in 1995 reflect the lowest price per pound since 1975 at 74.5 cents.23 Lower market prices of tea are primarily due to the reduced quality of tea and record production prices for tea were 83.7 cents per pound in 1991, down 8.5 cents from the previous year. The highest price was recorded in 1984 ( 1.56 per pound), which has since fallen to the recent levels. Trade in imports and exports of tea (bag and instant) in the U.S. has been growing since 1990. While iced tea products are increasingly popular in the U.S., they are in direct competition with soft drinks which tend to dominate the cold beverage market. 

Most chemical reactions occur in solutions. This is because a substance dissolved in a solvent, the solute, will be in its smallest state of subdivision, existing as individual molecules or ions that will increase their ability to react with other molecules or ions. Most chemistry in the body takes place in solution in the absence of the solution, much of the chemistry of life would not take place. You are familiar with solutions that are liquid, like iced tea and sea water, but solutions can also be gases, like the atmosphere, or solids, like a gold ring, which is a mixture of silver dissolved in gold. 

Diuretics make people urinate frequently. Coffee, cranberry juice, beer, iced tea, herbal tea, and Pepsi are all good diuretics. Grapes are known to be very good diuretics. Diuretics without caffeine or alcohol are recommended because caffeine and alcohol have negative side effects. Cranberry juice is also the cheapest. Avoid salts. Herbal diuretics do better than home remedies like juices.

The prosecution argued that Curley had planned to poison her husband, Robert, in cold blood for his life insurance money. She seized the opportunity when Robert Curley took a job that involved remodeling the labs in the chemistry building at Wilkes University. Joann began to add thallium to the ice tea that Robert took to work each day in a thermos, thinking that even if the authorities eventually made a diagnosis of thallium...

The higher the temperature of the solvent, the more easily solutions form, and also the greater is the proportion of solute that actually dissolves. This is why sugar dissolves better in hot tea than in iced tea. 

The smaller the particles of the solute, the more easily a solution forms. This is why finely ground sugar is used in iced tea.

If 3 tsp of table sugar is placed in a glass of iced tea, it does not all dissolve right away. Examine Figure 15.2 and conclude if the sugar (C12H22O11) is not very soluble or does not dissolve very quickly.
