How to Make Iced Tea.
t's the perfect time to offer refreshing and for fine loose leaf teas: Try Mango Bay, Emerald Charm or Ginger
Peach for a delicious and refreshing Ice Tea.
You make great iced tea by starting with a great tea, one that is full of flavor and will satisfy your tastes.
Measure out the amount of tea according to this formula: Six heaping teaspoons of loose-leaf tea for each quart
you want to prepare. Add it to your serving pitcher.
Add spring water at room-temperature, 18°-24°C (65°-75°F), not boiling water, to the pitcher. Set it aside and
allow the tea to steep for an hour or so in your refrigerator.
Because the tea leaves can be used again, set them aside and refrigerate. You will be able to make at least two
more pitchers when you start with a quality, loose-leaf tea. Fresh tea makes the best iced tea, so don't refrigerate
it for days after you make it. Make it and drink it. Adjust sugar or sweetener to personal taste if used. Thoroughly
chill the tea before serving. If you add ice, use cubes, not chips.
