Refreshing Iced Tea Recipe
Quench your thirst with this refreshing recipe just in time for the summer.
INGREDIENTS
2-1/4 cups water
6 regular-size tea bags (about 1/2-ounce total), or 2 family-size tea bags
6 cups cold water
Granulated sugar for garnish
Lemon wedges for garnish
Mint sprigs for garnish
PREPARATION
In a small saucepan, bring the 2-1/4 cups water to a gentle boil. Add the tea bags, remove the saucepan from the heat and cover. Steep for 15 minutes.
Remove the tea bags without squeezing them (which would add bitterness) and pour the steeped tea into a 2-1/2-quart heatproof container. Add the 6 cups cold water and mix. Let cool at room temperature and then refrigerate until cold. Serve over ice, garnished with sugar and lemon wedges.
OPTIONAL PEACH & MINT FLAVOR BOOSTER
Add 4 ripe peaches (cut into 1/2-inch pieces) and 1 small bunch fresh mint sprigs to the warm or cooled tea.
