Easy Iced Tea Tips:

Making iced tea from your everyday tea sachet is simple! Simply follow the instructions below to make great iced tea:

• • - Fill a heat resistant cup* with 6oz boiling water (*ceramic, glass, stainless or paper cup)
  • - Steep one tea sachet (add sugar or honey at this point if desired) for 3 minutes or longer depending on preference
  • - Fill the serving cup with ice
  • - Pour steeped tea and sachet over ice in serving cup
  • - Garnish with lemon, orange, lemon grass, mint, strawberry.

What if you want to make a pitcher of iced tea? Overall, the process for making tea in bulk is just as easy:

• • - Choose 5 sachets of your  tea of choice (or mix it up with a combination of sachets), add them to a half-gallon pitcher and fill halfway with water (Boiling for Black and Herbals and only lightly bubbling for Greens and Whites).
  • - Steep 3-5 minutes depending on personal taste
  • - Cool a bit
  • - Pour over ice in individual glasses and garnish as desired

Store leftover iced tea in the fridge but do not be alarmed if some of the teas cloud a bit once refrigerated. This will not change the flavor of the iced tea.
