  • Let the tea bag soak in hot water for about 5 minutes. If left on for longer, the tea will taste bitter. If you steep the tea for less than 5 minutes, the tea taste will be pale. This drink should have a thick tea mix because a little more, you'll dilute it. Remove the tea bags after 5 minutes has passed.
  • Pour the tea into the jug. Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the tea to cool.
  • Pour two cups of cold water (480 ml) into the tea pot. The tea will be diluted and become less concentrated. You can stir to make the mixture even more homogeneous.

  • Refrigerate the mixture until it is cold. This will take about 2 to 3 hours.
  • Enjoy tea. Pour tea into a tall glass of ice. Squeeze a slice of lemon into the tea and place a sprig of mint on top. If you like adding sugar, start with a half teaspoon of sugar and add more until it feels comfortable. advertisement

Then squeeze half a cup of lemon juice. Dissolve the lemon juice in a cooled tea pot. If the lemon flavor isn't strong enough, mix in a little more lemonade. Use tea with ice, sugar and a sprig of mint.
    3. Make vanilla iced tea. Heat two regular cups of black tea. Let the tea cool, then add a cup of cold water to it, add a few ice cubes. Add two tablespoons of vanilla extract. Use tea with a teaspoon of vanilla ice cream. advertisement

    Advice

    • You can add to the cold tea some crushed mint leaves. It will give the tea a mild mint flavor.
    • To make the tea sweeter when it is cold, use avage nectar (Agave juice extract). Unlike sugar or honey, this honey is soluble in cold water.
    • Tea can also be moldy, like wine with a cork smell. If your tea smells musty, it's rotten - throw it out.
    • Is it 32 degrees C hotter outside? Make a large pot of tea with a lid. Fill it with water and add several tea bags. Close the lid and leave it in the sun for about 3 hours or more. Use tea with ice.
    • The rule of making iced tea that you need to remember is: compared to hot tea, you must add twice the amount of tea to make iced tea. This way, your iced tea will maintain the taste of the tea after it has been diluted with ice.
    • To let the tea cool faster, put the teapot in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours.
    • Do not put the tea in the coffee machine like restaurants do. That taste cannot be confused anywhere. Make your own tea the best!
    • You can squeeze lemon into tea for a lemon iced tea.
    • In addition to lemon, you can use lemon myrtle leaves.
    • You can add ginger to tea to add a rich flavor.
    • Don't add too much sugar, or it will turn into sugar tea.

    Warning

    • Don't add too much sugar to anything, or it will taste bad. Don't add too many ingredients to the tea. Remember: less delicious.
    • Do not soak the tea bag in hot water for longer than 5 minutes.
    • Depending on the type of tea, the mixture you make when making iced tea may be cloudy. However, this does not affect the taste of the tea. Anyway, if you don't like this, add more boiling water to the tea pot, the tea will be less cloudy.
