Iced Tea
Double brewing tea makes for a delicious iced
tea. Serve immediately over ice or chill in the
refrigerator. The recipe below calls for black tea,
but any tea can be iced. Teas and tastes vary –
so feel free to experiment with the amount of
tea to use to find your favorite strength.
Doubling works well for black tea,
but go a little less for green.
