Instructions
Iced Teas
- Add boiling water to tea bags in large pitcher.
- Check tea bags for steeping time. For black tea, steep 3-4 minutes. For green tea, steep 4-6 minutes. For herbal tea, steep 5-7 minutes.
- Refrigerate to cool completely before serving.
Simple Syrup
- Heat water and sugar over high heat, stirring frequently. Heat until sugar is completely dissolved into water.
- Remove from heat. Let cool completely.
Notes
Simple syrup is traditionally a 1:1 ratio between water and sugar. I often like to make it less sweet, so I use a lower sugar to water ratio.
