Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh, filtered water
- 8 tsp of full-leaf tea or 8 tea bags of your favorite Republic of Tea variety
- Ice, for serving
How to Make
- Bring fresh, filtered water to a rolling boil in a kettle. If you’re making white or green tea, stop short of boiling to avoid “cooking” the delicate leaves.
- Choose your favorite Republic of Tea variety and measure 8 teaspoons of full-leaf tea into an infuser, or 8 tea bags, and place into a heat-resistant pitcher. Pour the water over the tea leaves or tea bags.
- Cover and steep to taste, generally from 2 to 5 minutes depending on the variety you have chosen. Remove infuser or tea bags. Let tea cool to room temperature.
- Pour your cooled tea over ice into stylish glasses.
- Sweeten to taste. Garnish as desired. Sip and savor your iced tea.
