How to Make Inexpensive Iced Tea that Wows Your Friends

May 13th, 2008

iced-tea2.jpg

  1. Measure and boil four cups of water.
  2. Measure out 3 scant tablespoons of looseleaf tea into large T-Sac Tea Filters.
  3. Brew leaves for four minutes.
  4. Remove leaves and pour hot tea over 4 cups of ice.
  5. Add 1/4 cup of sugar. (optional)
  6. Chill.

    7. Friends, there is no reason to buy a powdered mix filled with chemicals or sweeteners. There is no reason to buy bottled iced tea (that’s expensive water and high fructose corn syrup you’re purchasing! Save your money to fill your gas tank.).I make a pitcher of blackberryor peach iced tea almost every day through the summer and my children love it. It costs pennies a pitcher and even though I sweeten it, it feels like a good mommy choice. And I have it ready to offer at a moment’s notice when people drop by on hot days. I get compliments on my iced tea all the time!

    I will have to try this. I like my tea unsweetened, but maybe my son will drink it if it’s sweetened. Thanks!

    I agree! During the summer my sun tea jar is always filled with tea brewed from whole leaves! I keep mine unsweetened and have a simple sugar syrup ready in a cleaned out honey bear ready to go.

    We drink tea all summer long,too. And peach and blackberry (unsweetened) are our favorite.
    Yay for tea season!

    My signature is orange pekoe and black tea mixed in a yummy iced tea. I use 1 orange tea bag for every 3 black. It’s so good!

    We love fruity herbal iced teas here. :)

    I’m gonna make some plain iced tea right now along with lemonade - I like to add a little in.

    I tagged you for a meme. If you would like to play, stop by my blog.

    I am recently learning to like iced tea as a healthier alternative to juice and soda.
    If I do not have loose leaf tea, about how many tea bags should I use?

    My mom just sent me a variety of fruit flavored teas, and I am eager to try them out.

    Thanks!

    I like to use 3 mint medley and one lemon.

    I’m new and am having a hard time figuring out how to post a question. Can someone assist?
    Thank you
