Iced Tea re-blogged.
Ingredients:
4 regular tea bags
2 cups fresh cold water
water
ice cubes
sugar
lemon slices (optional)
Unwrap if necessary and carefully slide off any paper attached to the strings of the tea bags; tie the strings together abd
place the bags in a heat proof 2 quart pitcher.
Bring 2 cups of cold water (always start with fresh cold water) to a rapiboil. Remove from heat and immediately pour over
the tea bags. Allow tea to steep for 20 minutes or more. (This process simply forms the “concentrate”. You can store the
mixture in the fridge for up to 24 hours)
Remove tea bags, squeeze out the excess liquid (being careful to not break open the bags and iscard. Fill the pitcher with
enough water to equal 2 quarts. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled before serving. Or to serve iced tea immediately,
add a dozen or so ice cubes to tea concentrate then fill with water to the 2 quart level.
To serve, pour tea over a generous amount of ice cubes in a tall glass, stirring in desired sweetening and a squeeze of
lemon, as desired.
