The Perfect Iced Tea in Minutes!

Seven Steps to the Perfect Iced Tea

Step 1: Measure out your loose tea to create your concentrate. For a 24oz iced tea we typically use 2 tbsps of tea.

Sep 2: Begin Steeping your tea with the ideal water temperature for the tea you are using. 208 for a black tea. (Different teas steep at different temps, more on that in a later post!)

Step 3: Set your timer. We normally steep black teas for 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 4: Prepare a cocktail shaker and a glass with ice. If you want to add a touch of honey, I suggest pouring the honey over the ice in the cocktail shaker.

Step 5: Once the tea is properly steeped, pour the concentrate into the cocktail shaker and do you best impression of Tom Cruise from the movie Cocktail.

Step 6: Pour your iced tea over the ice in your glass.

Step 7: Find a comfortable spot to enjoy your perfect iced tea!

That perfect spot is whatever works for you, is it a view of the mountains, sitting on the porch with a friend, or at home as a nice afternoon treat. Thanks.
