Prep Time: 24 hours, 00 minute
Ingredients:
  • 6-8 tea bags (use more or less according to taste)
  • 2 quarts water
Preparation:

1. Fill a two-quart pitcher with cold water.

2. Add in your tea bags.

3. Steep in the refrigerator overnight.

  • Flavor with fruit juice for a more exotic taste
  • Fill an ice cube tray with tea, and freeze to create ice cubes that won't water down your drink
