I never was a fan of ice tea until I made it this way. The recipe comes from Cook's Illustrated and makes a nice strong tea. Ingredients:
5 tablespoons tea (about 5 teabags) |
1 quart water |
1 -6 tablespoon sugar |
1 quart ice, plus more for the glass |
Directions:
1. Heat the tea bags and water in a medium, non reactive saucepan over medium heat until dark, very steamy and small bubbles form on the bottom and sides (instant read thermometer will register about 190), 10 to 15 minutes.
2. Off heat steep 3 minutes (don't steep any longer or it may get bitter).
3. Remove and discard the tea bags and pour tea into a pitcher.
4. Stir in sugar until dissolved.
5. Stir in ice until melted.
6. Serve in ice filled glasses.
