How do you personally make 1 or 2 quarts of iced tea.?

Question

i just want to compare different methods. Thanks!

Answer 1

heat 8 cups water in the microwave to a boil, then add 4 regular sized tea bags and let steep for 5-10 minutes. Oh and it also helps to add flavoring for tea such as blackberry or cherry.

Answer 2

boil water in a big pan

turn off heat, throw in some tea bags

chill

Answer 3

I use Lipton COLD BREW bags - 4 pitcher-sized bags to 1/2 gal. water.  It "brews" in 5 minutes on the counter; and you don't get the foam or scum that happens if you brew the tea hot first.  ... You can also add a bag or 2 of Raspberry or Peach ice tea; or add some lemon slices and fresh mint

Answer 4

I have a glass gallon jug I fill with cool water and add 2 large bags of tea, or 4 regular size bags. I put the cover on and set it out in the sun until it is the strength I want it to be.  Then I bring it in , remove the tea bags and put the jug in the frig...wonderful refreshing iced tea. For the 1 or 2 quart serving, do the same, just use 1 tea bag per quart.

Answer 5

Put the tea, either loose or in bags, and the water in the container and leave in the frig for several hours.

Answer 6

tea bags in pitcher hot water stick in the frig.  There's always the sun tea method Place Jar or pitcher in the sun. I can't  taste any difference.

Answer 7

I throw a bunch of tea bags in a pitcher and throw the pitcher out in my yard all day. Come supper time I have Sun Tea like it ain't no thang.
