Can you make your own tea @ home w/out a tea or coffee press?
I know this sounds like a crazy, silly question, but I never did this before. The other day I was in the mall shopping and went into the tea store, Teavana. I tried some of the Youthberry Tea they had as a sample and it was sooo good!!!
I winded up speaking with another customer and she insisted I could make this at home myself. I never thought to ask if I needed a machine or could I just boil fruits together.
Has anyone done this before? Any tips? I really don't want to go out and buy a tea maker or coffee press if I can get the same effect by boiling the items in a pot.
Thanks for any help!

The Youthberry tea is a prepared tea, you make it like any other tea. And with all prepared teas, you don't need any special tools, other than something to heat water in, then strain the tea into your cup.
Are you asking about creating your own homemade version of the tea (like combining fruits, etc)?
A tea maker? .... Boil water. Pour over tea. Let steep. Pour through strainer. done.
From their website:
"Use 1.5 teaspoons of tea per 8oz of water. Heat water to 175 degrees (79 degrees Celsius) and steep for 2 minutes. For stronger flavor, use more tea leaves. 2oz of tea equals 25-30 teaspoons."
