Cómo preparar Make Perfect Ice Tea
- Place 4 family-size tea bags (or 8 regular tea bags) and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in a large, heat-resistant glass measuring cup.
- Add 2 cups of freshly boiled water to the measuring cup.
- Cover the measuring cup and let the tea steep for 15 minutes.
- Remove the tea bags and gently squeeze them to extract any remaining tea. Discard the tea bags.
- Pour the concentrated tea into a 2-quart pitcher.
- Add 6 cups of cold, filtered water (use bottled water if you have hard water).
- **For Sweetened Iced Tea:** Add 1 cup of granulated sugar to the pitcher. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- **For Unsweetened Iced Tea:** Proceed directly to step 9.
- To prevent cloudiness, allow the iced tea to cool to room temperature before refrigerating. This step is crucial for clarity.
- Once chilled, garnish with lemon slices or fresh mint sprigs. Serve over ice.
- Store the iced tea in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for optimal freshness.
