Brewing Iced Tea

Choose your tea: The first step in brewing iced tea is to choose your tea. Black tea, green tea, and herbal tea all make great iced teas, so choose your favorite or experiment with different flavors.

Brew your tea: To brew iced tea, start by brewing a pot of hot tea using your preferred method. Use 1-2 tea bags or 1-2 teaspoons of loose leaf tea per cup of water.

Let it cool: Once the tea is brewed, let it cool to room temperature. You can speed up the process by placing the tea in the refrigerator or adding ice cubes.

Add ice: Once the tea is cool, fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the tea over the ice.

Add flavorings: For added flavor, you can add lemon, mint, or other herbs to your iced tea.

Sweeten to taste: Add honey, sugar, or another sweetener to taste.
