Make fresh and fruity Iced Tea At Home
Tea has been with mankind for the better part of history. From just tea to Earl Grey to Lipton, we have finally landed on a new contender for favorite drinks. A relative newcomer in the long history of tea, iced tea is now hugely popular all over the world.
It is easy to make and endlessly adaptable. You can brew it light or strong. You can drink it unsweetened or sweetened. Plus, once you’ve got the basics down, you can start getting more adventurous with your recipes.
Let’s get on with the basics first!
Start by pouring four cups of boiling water over two tea bags in a heat-proof pitcher.
Then leave it for three to five minutes.
Now remove the bags and sweeten them to taste.
Next, stir in six cups of ice cubes until melted, or use four cups of cold water.
Finally, add some and you’re ready to go. Make sure you keep it refrigerated.
Now you’ve got the essentials sorted; you can think about jazzing up your recipes.
Bring a little tropical color to your brew by adding slivers of fresh fruit such as pineapple, peach and kiwi to the iced tea along with half a cup of sugar syrup.
Leave the fruit to soak in the tea and a few hours later you’ll have a wonderfully tangy mixture.
What’s more, in the end, you can eat the marinated fruit at the bottom of your glass. Seriously yummy!
