Ingredients for Cold Tea Can
Method
Directions for Preparing Cold Tea Can
Brew the Tea
In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add 2 tablespoons of green tea leaves. Let steep for 3-5 minutes based on your desired strength.
Sweeten the Tea
After steeping, strain the tea into a pitcher to remove the leaves. While the tea is still warm, stir in 2 tablespoons of honey or your preferred sweetener until dissolved.
Chill the Tea
Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until completely chilled.
Serve
To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled tea over the ice. Garnish with lemon slices and mint leaves, if desired.
