I love iced tea too, and make it every other day!. In a gallon jar, put 20 tea bags (I like about 14-15 regular ones, and 6-8 jasmine bags), cover with water, put the lid on and let sit in the sun for hours!. Then refrigerate!. Best tea ever!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
he basic method for making iced tea is:
* Boil water (the amount depends on how much tea you’re making!)
* Steep tea (loose or bagged, whatever flavor you like)
* Strain the tea if you used loose leaves, or remove the tea bags!.
* Add sugar to taste!. Some people prefer unsweetened, and some people use up to 2 cups of sugar for a 2 quart pitcher!. It depends on personal taste!.
* Cool!. Some people refrigerate it, others pour it over ice (which also dilutes it a bit), and some people mix it with ice water!.
* Serve and enjoy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Do NOT use instant ice tea!. It's terrible!. The easiest and best way is to buy Lipton's COLD BREW tea bags!. I put 4 pitcher-sized ones into a COLD pitcher of water!. It "brews" in 5 min!. on your counter!. You don't get the foam or scum that you'd get if you brewed it first, then iced it!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Well in the super markets they sell it in a powder that you just add to water!. BUT, what you do it boil a big batch of tea and let it sit in the refrigerator to let it cool!. Later, serve it in a pitcher with lemon wedges and ice cubes!. Enjoy!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Jeez I used to be a big iced tea drinker!. I don't remember how I made it but I will tell you what I used!. Twining Tea!. Loose from the can!. I mixed Russian Caravan with China Black!. I used more Russian than China but I can't remember the proportions!. UMMMMMM Good!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Hot water in a pitcher with tea bags is all you need!. Leave extra room for ice when you have your tea strong enough ( i usually leave the tea bags in for about 20 minutes)!. That's all you need!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
