[@irishweeb2370]

for lazy people: make a huge batch of tea but with cold water. leave overnight in the fridge then when done put ice in a cup and pour, then squeeze some lemon/orange/lime (any fruit really) and enjoy! (keep the rest in the fridge until you want more

Clod brew is the way to go. However, no need to put it in the fridge, let it steep at room temp for up to 1hr and you get the same result. Also for a big batch okay fine go with tea bags to save on money but for yourself go with loose leave, it makes a nice improvement in flavor.

I do mine the same way. But NEVER squeeze the tea bags. Just lift them out, let them drain a few seconds into the container & discard. I use a half gallon canning jar.

I agree about not squeezing; it puts more tannins in the tea, tasting bitter. I have been making concentrated iced tea and I always add just a pinch of baking soda to offset any bitterness.

For many years now I have been hearing about iced, but i have never tried it.....but after watching this video i put tea bag in a cup of water in the fridge to give it a go later....

[@derkeith570]

I liked the positive energy there. but... There is a good reason why it states on the package to use boiling water. Tea leaves do not get sterilised after drying/fermenting, and are often heavily contaminated with bacteria. I would hesitate to call unboiled black/green tea foodsave. (Ok. Not nessesarily boiled, but heated above at least 70°C for a certain amount of time) Granted, the odds of actually getting sick are slim. But why even take the risk? If you want a less harsh taste, then remove the teabags earlyer, or use teabags that have been in boiling water before. (People actually doublepour tea leaves. and serious tea tasting actually sometimes involves discarting the first pour alltogether) Or even better: try a different Blend. There are litterally endless varations on tea. Most of them won't even give you dysentery if prepared properly.

[@colinmackay92]

The way I make my iced tea is i just boil a bunch of water then take it off the heat and put the tea bags in letting it steep for about 6 minutes and then stir in a few tablespoons of honey. Then put it in swing top bottles with a few slices of lemon and let it sit overnight in the fridge. It's amazing and everything has been sterilised. You can also control the taste/bitterness of the tea way easier because your doing it all before it's even chilled.

Microwave a cup of water till boiling. Add whatever amount of sugar you like and stir until clear. Let cool all the way either in fridge or to room temperature. Then when you add the water to your tea bags, you add in this Simple Syrup you just made and you have iced tea sweetened the way YOU like it. Enjoy!

Hey Dani...I’ve tried stevia before, liquid and tablets but they taste HORRIBLE. Is there a stevia option you know of that taste close to regular sugar? I tried to force myself to get used to it but I just can’t. PS Because of you and Mind Over Munch I finally tried almond butter when I found it on sale-love it! And I don’t know why but if I made a peanut butter sandwich, to feel satisfied (wether it’s my imagination or not) I’d have to make a sandwich and a half, so, three pieces of bread, buncha peanut butter. I can toast a good grainy slice of bread, some almond butter on top while it’s warm and I’m good! Now that I know it’s worth it I don’t feel bad for sacrificing to get it in my grocery shopping. It’s a small thing but I’m trying.❤️

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]
