Iced tea FAQ
How do I make iced tea from loose leaf tea?
Brew the tea double strength, using twice the usual amount of leaves, then pour it over a glass full of ice. The ice dilutes it to the right strength.
How do I cold brew iced tea?
Add 2 to 3 teaspoons of tea per 8 oz of cold water and refrigerate for 6 to 12 hours, then strain. Cold brewing gives a smooth, less bitter taste.
Which teas are caffeine-free for iced tea?
Fruit blends, hibiscus, mint and rooibos are caffeine-free. Moroccan Mint and white tea blends contain caffeine.
