Instructions
- Bring 1 quart of water to boil. Add about 5 to 8 black tea bags (or green tea bags) into a glass pitcher. Pour boiling water into the pitcher with tea bags.Tip: If you plan to store iced tea for many days, add a pinch of baking soda to boiling water before adding it to tea bags. This will help the tea from turning into a funky taste by removing the bitterness in the tea.
- Let tea bags steep in hot water for about 3-5 minutes for black tea and 2-3 minutes for green tea. Note: Do NOT steep tea any longer than that. The tea will turn bitter.
- Remove and discard tea bags from the pitcher.
- Pour freshly squeezed lemon juice into the tea pitcher.
- Pour raw honey into the glass pitcher. Stir the tea mix well. Taste and adjust if it needs more sweetness by adding more honey. Chill tea in the fridge for a few hours.
- When ready to serve, pour into a glass filled with ice cubes and lemon slices, and serve immediately.

- Nutritional Info - Please keep in mind that the nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
- Use good quality tea to make the best iced tea.
- Black tea and green tea work best. Feel free to use other tea blends of your choice.
- Using tea bags makes steeping easy.
- Add seasoned fresh fruits to make fruity teas such as peach iced tea, mango tea, or Iced strawberry tea.
- Use a heat-proof glass pitcher for steeping tea. It's easy to steep and store (chill) tea.
