This is soo good! I had the most strong craving for iced tea, I youtubed all the recipes, tried 2 others, but this one turned out to be the BESSSTTTTTTTTTT! highly recommended. tip: honey didn't work for me, so I had to add sugar, to do so, I mixed 5Tbsp of sugar in 1/4 cup of hot water, and added it to the pitcher. add ice only after mixing the sugar.

Once you get the knack, the possibilities are endless. Green tea, black tea, orange pekoe tea w black ....so many great ones. I've used brown sugar, maple syrup besides traditional sweeteners. Monk fruit is one of my favorite sweeteners.

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've been cold brewing tea forever. Gives it a cleaner taste. Also, not all stevia are the same. I find some brands gives off a bitter chemical taste. Since tea doesn't have a strong flavor you can really taste it. I'm thinking of switching over to monk fruit sweetener.

this a very good recipe, and I am glad I stumbled across your channel, this channel looks like a gold mine of healthy tasty recipes. I made iced tea with hot water, I tried your method & the tea in fact is better!

[@PotterSpurn1]

I brew a couple of tea bags in boiling water to extract as much of the tea taste as possible into what is a very strong brew and I also add some mint leaves and the pour into a jug and add more cold water. Then I add some lime juice and lime slices. I add ice before pouring the cold drink left overnight. I will try it without boiling water to see if that makes a difference. I don't mind the bitterness, but perhaps I might like it more without it. I never add any sweeteners. To me iced tea is a substitute for plain water, not sodas or juices.
