Iced Tea Concentrate Recipe

American · Beverage · 15 min total

Make a smooth, full-bodied iced tea concentrate that you can dilute to your liking. Perfect for a quick glass of iced tea anytime.

Ingredients

• 8 cups water
• 8 black tea bags (or 2 tablespoons loose leaf tea)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar (optional, or to taste)
• 1/8 teaspoon baking soda (optional, for smoothness)

Instructions

1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat.
2. Add tea bags (or loose tea in a tea infuser) and sugar (if using) and baking soda (if using). Stir to dissolve sugar.
3. Cover and steep for 10 minutes. Do not oversteep to avoid bitterness.
4. Remove tea bags (or strain out loose tea). Pour concentrate into a pitcher.
5. Add remaining 4 cups of cold water and stir. Refrigerate until chilled.
6. To serve, fill glasses with ice and pour concentrate over ice. Adjust strength by adding more water or ice if desired.

Tips

• For a stronger concentrate, use 10 tea bags and reduce steeping to 8 minutes.
• Store concentrate in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
• Add lemon slices or fresh mint for extra flavor.
