How do you make iced tea?
Use around 2 tablespoons of tea for 1 litre of cold or room-temperature water. Leave in the fridge for approximately 1–2 hours for green tea, 2–4 hours for black tea or 6–12 hours for rooibos, then strain. These are starting points: follow the specific instructions for your blend and prepare cold infusions hygienically. Cold-brewed green tea often tastes milder and less bitter than hot-brewed tea, while black tea can produce a fuller-bodied drink.
How long can iced tea be kept?
Keep your prepared tea refrigerated and enjoy it within 2–3 days when handled hygienically. Remove the leaves, herbs and fruit after infusing to prevent the flavour from becoming too strong.
Why choose homemade iced tea?
Homemade iced tea lets you control the ingredients and sweetness. Choose organic loose leaf tea or herbal infusions, and add fruit, lemon, mint, ginger or cinnamon to create a refreshing alternative to ready-made sugary drinks. Remember that traditional tea contains caffeine, including when served cold.
Tips for making iced tea
Adjust the amount of tea and steeping time to your liking. To make a quicker drink, brew with hot water according to the tea's instructions, then cool promptly and refrigerate. Add fresh or frozen fruit, herbs, or spices for variety, removing citrus peel if it starts to taste bitter. Sweeten to taste with honey, maple syrup, sugar or homemade syrup.
When should you drink iced tea?
Iced tea is not just for warm weather: it is a refreshing choice all year round. For the evening, choose a naturally caffeine-free rooibos or herbal infusion.
