I've noticed that when making tea with our tap water it tends to could
up, especially when cooled in the refrigerator. We have a reverse
osmosis filter hooked up to our refrigerator water dispenser and
icemaker. Since we've been using the filtered water, and ice cubes,
our tea is now consistently clear when hot, or when refrigerated. I too
have heard that adding a bit of hot tea to cloudy tea clears it up.
