Iced Tea Recipe
Iced Tea Recipe is a cold, refreshing drink made by brewing black tea, sweetening with sugar or honey, adding ice, lemon juice, and garnishing with mint or lemon slices. I decided to make this iced tea because I remembered my previous experience preparing it, and I wanted to recreate that moment.
Equipment
- Saucepan or kettle
- Spoon for stirring
- Pitcher or jug
- Glasses for serving
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 2 black tea bags
- 2 –3 tablespoons sugar or honey to taste
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Fresh mint leaves or lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
Brew The Tea
- Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan or kettle. Take it off the heat, add the black tea bags, and let them steep for about 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags, then stir in sugar or honey until it’s completely dissolved. Let the tea cool for a little while.
Make The Iced Tea
- Fill a pitcher or individual glasses with ice cubes. Pour the slightly cooled tea over the ice and stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Mix it well so the tea chills evenly.
Garnish And Serve
- Top with fresh mint leaves or lemon slices for a little extra flair. Serve right away and enjoy your refreshing iced tea.
