Makes 2 quarts (8 cups)
INGREDIENTS:
-
8 cups cold water
-
4 herbal tea bags*
-
Sugar, for serving
DIRECTIONS:
-
Fill a 2-quart pitcher or drink dispenser with 8 cups of cold water.
-
Submerge the tea bags in the water, letting the tags hang over the pitcher or dispenser. Let the tea steep in the refrigerator for eight to twelve hours or overnight.
-
Remove and discard the tea bags.
-
Serve the iced tea in ice-filled cups, offering sugar on the side in packets or in a covered dish with a spoon.
*Herbal teas are naturally caffeine-free and come in a variety of delicious flavors. Fruit teas (such as passionfruit, peach, and mango), hibiscus, and chamomile are great choices for making iced tea.
