Let’s break it all down for you.
What Is Iced Tea and Why Is It Popular?
Iced tea is exactly what the name says. It’s just tea – but served chilled with ice and a mix of flavors like lemon, mint, peach, or even ginger. explains that during old British summers, people used to make tea as usual and then just add ice to it. That’s how iced tea became a thing!
The Basics – How to Make Iced Tea Base
To make a strong iced tea base:
- Boil water with some black peppercorns, fennel seeds, and mint leaves.
- Add sugar and when the water is hot (but not boiling), add the tea leaves.
- Let it brew slowly, don’t use boiling water or it will burn the leaves.
- The mixture will taste very strong and sweet at first, but don’t worry. Once you add ice and water, it will balance out.
That this strong tea base can be stored in the fridge for up to one month. And the taste only gets better over time.
