I make my iced tea with a machine that drips the boiling tea directly onto ice, yet whether it's cloudy or clear is determined entirely by which tea I use. The tea's "quality" does not seem to be a factor, but rather some quality of the tea causes the cloudiness. I don't think it's as simple as whether the tea is dusty, though that may contribute by way of condensation nuclei or something.

Michelle tried to make some lavender Earl Grey iced tea recently and it was very cloudy. Hmm. I actually have a new theory that I need to test.
