Thirst-quenching iced tea. Unless you add a sweetener, iced tea has zero
calories and is a healthful alternative to sugary drinks and diet sodas. See how we make this classic drink recipe. Tea is available in bags or in loose leaf
form. If you're using loose tea, you'll need an
infuser or a strainer. Next, pour 4 cups of fresh-boiled water into
a heat-proof pitcher. If you're using loose tea, you can put it
directly in the pitcher or place it inside an infuser.
Cover the pitcher and allow the tea to brew
or steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags or the infuser or, if
you used loosed tea, strain it into another pitcher. Allow the tea to cool for 2 hours at room
temperature then serve it over ice. If it's just too hot outside to turn on the
stove, try refrigerator brewed tea. Place 6 to 8 tea bags in a pitcher. Add 1-1/2 quarts of cold water and cover the
pitcher. Put the pitcher in the refrigerator and let
the tea brew for about 24 hours. For a refreshing finishing touch, serve iced
tea with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves..
