Good iced tea recipes?

[notfred]

I have no idea why, but I just got the urge to make my own iced tea. I've never made it before.

Anyone have any good recipes? Something not too sweet.

Make tea. Add sugar while it's hot so that you can get more in there. (Yeah Southern Sweetened Tea). Add a bit of peach schnapps for flavor.

Boil favorite tea & a couple slices of ginger, add sugar, and fresh lime/lemon juice to taste, then add ice.

Tea + Ice + Sugar

For what it's worth, sun-brewed tastes better.

Big jar of water + bunch of tea bags + leave out in the sun all day +refrigerate = awesome tea.

If it's anything like what you get in restaurants, you'll need a lot of sugar.

 

[ballmode]

ice and sugar

 

[Greyd]

ok ill get flamed for this but I FREAKIN love Crystal light peach iced tea.

 

[OdiN]

Fill 5-gallon clear water jug with water, tie off teabags to taste, cap it and sit it out in the sun all day.

[TitanDiddly]

Peppermint tea bags + hot water + time - heat + sweetness = woot

 

[imported_hscorpio]

Watch out for the southern sweet tea, I swear it's addicting.

 

[essasin]

Tea + spiced rum + lemon juice = fun in the sun

It's addicting but it will make you freaking sick as hell if you drink it for a week straight.

I guess your body finally says "You IDIOT! THAT'S TOO MUCH F'ING SUGAR!"


Great iced tea recipe:

Get a pitcher of water.
Put a lipton cold brew tea bag in it.
Done.

missed an ingredient.

 

[pontifex]

just buy Turkey Hill lemon iced tea, that stuff is the best.

 

[MiniDoom]

I make normal iced tea and add mango concentrate and guava nectar then use only raw sugar.

Fresh iced tea brewed propertly from high-quality tea leaves (not bags) tastes remarkably better, imo.

2 teaspoons of tea leaves for every 6-8oz of water, depending on your taste.
175F-203F water depending on the tea for 1-7 minutes, also depending on the tea.
pour over a pitcher of ice.

Done.

I typically use a high-grade Darjeeling for my iced teas, and depending on my mood I might throw in some dried passion fruit, peach, or whatever else I feel like. Ceylon is probably the most popular black tea used for iced tea.
