Iced tea can be made using any tea. It’s when you use fruit infusions, fruit juices, spices, sugar and other goodies that you achieve the “wow” factor. Although you can use any variety of tea, the results will be excellent with high quality tea. Inferior teas will become cloudy when chilled and will not provide the same superior taste. To experiment, use your imagination to modify these recipes or create a whole new recipe. Feel free to share your tips or recipes with all of us tea lovers.
ICED MINT TEA
Brew a pot of mint tea
Add sugar to taste
Cool and then refrigerate 4-6 hours
Serve with fresh mint leaves
SPICY ICED TEA
6 cups black tea, steeped with 4 tsp cardamom for 5 minutes
Strain and cool
Refrigerate 4-6 hours
Serve by placing crushed ice in glasses, fill each glass about ¾ full of tea
Add 1 tbs sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon and ¼ cup evaporated milk to each glass
This really makes a spectacular taste treat!
In addition to high quality tea, use good fresh water, filtered or bottled. To prevent cloudy tea, do not rapid chill the tea. Let it cool down to room temperature before refrigerating.
