Method

Brewing the Tea

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.

  2. 2

    Steep Tea Bags

    Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add both the black tea bags and green tea bags. Let them steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer your tea.

  3. 3

    Remove Tea Bags

    After steeping, carefully remove the tea bags from the pot. You can use a slotted spoon or tongs to avoid burning yourself.

  4. 4

    Cool the Tea

    Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled.

Serving the Tea

  1. 5

    Prepare the Glasses

    Fill a glass with ice cubes to keep the tea cold while serving.

  2. 6

    Pour the Tea

    Pour the chilled unsweetened iced tea or iced green tea over the ice-filled glass, leaving some space at the top.

  3. 7

    Add Flavor Enhancers (Optional)

    If desired, add a slice of fresh lemon, a few mint leaves, or a tablespoon of grated ginger for added flavor.

  4. 8

    Serve and Enjoy

    Enjoy your refreshing bottomless iced tea or iced green tea, refilling as needed!
