How to Make Exotic Iced Tea
- In a large saucepan, combine 2 quarts (8 cups) of water, 1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh ginger, and the juice of 2 large lemons.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and let steep for 5 minutes.
- Add 4-6 black tea bags (depending on desired strength); steep for 5 minutes. Remove tea bags.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of honey (or to taste).
- Allow the tea to cool completely. For faster cooling, transfer to a bowl and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove ginger and any sediment.
- Serve chilled over ice. Garnish with lemon slices or fresh mint sprigs, if desired.
