Green Iced Tea
Caffeinated
This one surprised me because it's my current favorite. I don't normally like green tea, but something magical happens when you cold brew it and add a bit of sugar. Green Tea - I have sampled two brands of green tea and found that I prefer Five Roses Green Tea over the PNP Brand Green Tea. Sugar - I have a penchant for sweetness in certain items, and iced tea happens to be one of them.

Homemade green iced tea to enjoy on those warm summer days. Try it you'll be surprised how good it tastes!
Ingredients
- 1 l of water
- 2 - 3 Green tea teabags (Five Roses)
- Granulated White Sugar, as needed up to 6 tablespoons
Instructions
- Add one litre of room temperature water to a container that can be closed.
- Insert 2 or 3 tea bags. Close the container.
- Allow the tea to steep in the refrigerator for at least 8 to 12 hours. In my opinion, the additional time is worthwhile to attain the full flavor of green tea.
- Stir the sugar into the tea. Start with 2 tablespoons, taste and see how you like it. I find it tastes better with quite a lot of sugar. This step can take a bit of time ust ensure that all the sugar is melted
- Ensure it's cold, pour it into a glass, and enjoy.
Notes
For best results, allow the tea to steep for the full 12 hours for maximum flavour.
