The Secrets to Perfect Iced Tea

There are secrets to making the perfect Iced Tea. It's in the water and a tiny bit of something you'd never think about putting in your drinks.

I love a good glass of tea with dinner!

Thank you . I use 5 earl gray teabags in a litre of room temperature water with rind of 1 orange and 3 sprigs of mint. Stir and cold brew in fridge for 6 hours (reduces tannins). Strain and serve over ice. Agree on sugar syrup if have sweet tooth! Will try baking sofa. Good idea. Thanks for video

Trying this tomorrow!

Don’t squeeze the bags and look up how to make clear ice. I buy clear ice at the market, but only on weekends, the rest of the week we use cloudy ice. My kids say… “can we have weekend ice?!”

What tea flavor?

[@sharonpults1177]

Would you still use the baking soda if you made regular tea and not sweet tea? Like my tea plain....no milk....no sugar::)))

You could give it a shot. I find unsweetened tea with filtered water is quite crisp

@@paulfolger3490 Love ice tea and will get some distilled water....thanks much

[@paulfolger3490]

@@sharonpults1177 you can also use filtered water. Don’t forget use that water for ice cubes too

I have to ask ... what does the baking soda do?

[@AlwaysTasteful]

To me it adds a crispness. Give it a shot tell me what you think:)

[@cathyterracina81]

Hi Paul- I added baking soda to my tea and I totally get it. I think the soda reacts to the tannins in the tea and helps to neutralize the bitterness. My next batch I will use more because my tea was still cloudy. Isn't science awesome.. 🙂 thanks for the recipe. I enjoy your videos. -Cathy

Glad you tried it out!!

It dissolves the tannins which causes the cloudiness essentially what Cathy said
