There’s nothing quite like a glass of iced tea on a warm summer day, is there? This recipe is close to my heart. It reminds me of lazy afternoons spent on my grandmother’s porch, sipping iced tea and watching the world go by. Perfect for anyone seeking a cool refreshment, this iced tea recipe is as easy as pie, making it an excellent choice for both newbies in the kitchen and experienced tea lovers alike.
- 4-6 tea bags (depending on your preference for strength)
- 8 cups of water
- 1/2 cup of sugar (optional)
- Lemon slices for garnish
- Mint leaves for an extra zing (optional)
Start by bringing 4 cups of water to a boil.
Remove the water from heat and add your tea bags. Allow them to steep for about 5-7 minutes.
If you like your tea sweet, add the sugar while the tea is still warm. This helps the sugar dissolve more easily.
Add the remaining 4 cups of cold water to the brewed tea and remove the tea bags. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill.
Serve your chilled iced tea over ice cubes, garnished with lemon slices and mint leaves for an extra fresh taste.
