Sanjay,

I don't want to be discouraging, so *please* take what I say with a grain of
salt. I believe there is no way for mere mortals such as you and I to
reproduce the wonders of iced tea produced in restaurant chains such as TGI
Friday. Personally, I have long ago resolved the issue by giving up the
attempt. Just enjoy the tea where and how it's served. Sorry I couldn't
really be more helpful.

Best,
Michael
