SIMPLE ICED TEA



Simple Iced Tea image

I got this from Nathalie DuPree years ago. It's the best iced tea EVER, and keeps for weeks. The "20" servings is a guess. It depends on the size of your glass; how strong you like your tea; how much ice you use, etc.

Time 4m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 -4 tea bags
1 tablespoon baking soda
water (enough to fill your kettle)

Steps:

  • I use a little tea kettle for this. I put water in the kettle, and then add the tea bags and get the water to boiling. Take the kettle off the heat, and add the baking soda (it will foam over so make sure it's not over the burner or too full). Let it set and cool off.
  • I put mine in a pitcher in the fridge (some times with ice; some times just as is). It's almost black in color, and very strong. You need maybe 1 tbs. in a glass of water/ice, depending on how strong you want your tea. It keeps, without having that nasty taste, for well over a week (i've actually kept it almost 2 weeks and it's still delicious). Just remember it's VERY strong, and you need very, very little added to your water.

Tips:

  • Choose High-Quality Tea Leaves: Opt for loose-leaf tea or high-quality tea bags to ensure a rich and flavorful iced tea.
  • Use Fresh Water: Always use fresh, cold water for the best taste. Avoid using water that has been sitting in the fridge for too long.
  • Steep the Tea Properly: Follow the recommended steeping time указанное на упаковке чая. Over-steeping can result in a bitter taste.
  • Sweeten to Taste: Add sweetener of your choice, such as sugar, honey, or stevia, to taste. Consider using simple syrup for a more controlled sweetness.
  • Chill Thoroughly: Allow the iced tea to chill thoroughly in the refrigerator or over ice before serving. This enhances the flavor and makes it more refreshing.

Homemade iced tea is a simple yet delightful beverage that can be enjoyed all year round. With various tea options and customizable sweetness levels, it's a versatile drink that can accommodate different tastes and preferences. Using high-quality tea leaves, fresh water, and proper steeping techniques, you can easily create a refreshing and flavorful iced tea at home. Experiment with different tea blends, sweeteners, and garnishes to find your perfect iced tea recipe. Enjoy your homemade iced tea as a thirst-quenching treat or share it with friends and family for a refreshing and enjoyable experience.
