Follow these simple steps and you’ll have a tall refreshing glass of fresh-brewed iced tea in minutes.
You Will Need
- A pitcher
- 5 teabags
- 4 c. water
- Ice
- Lemon
- Sugar
- A sprig of fresh mint
Step 1: Put teabags in a pitcher
Place the tea bags in a pitcher.
For a clearer beverage, use a tea blend marketed specifically for iced tea.
Step 2: Boil half the water
Bring 2 cups cold tap water to a boil and pour the boiling water into the pitcher.
Step 3: Steep the tea
Steep the tea for three to five minutes.
Make the tea stronger than you would hot tea – you will be diluting it with water and ice.
Step 4: Add the rest of the water
Remove the tea bags, add 2 cups cold water, and stir.
Step 5: Serve over ice
Put ice into tall glasses and fill with tea. Add lemon and sugar to taste and garnish with fresh mint.
