Summer with Cold Brewed Iced Fruit Tea, feel Cool

Mar.10th, 2022

Summer is on the way now. Drinking a cold brew iced tea in such hot weather will be cool. So, we are going to share cold brew iced tea recipe today.

Delicious and easy, this cold brewed iced tea requires no boiling water. Simply steep the tea in a jar in the fridge with fresh fruit for extra flavour.

Ingredients

• Cold Brewed Iced Tea:
  1/2 cups water, room temperature
  2 tea bags

• Fruit Additions:
  Assorted fresh fruit
  Fresh herbs, (basil leaves, mint leaves, thyme sprigs, rosemary sprigs)
  Simple Syrup for Sweetening:
  1 cup white sugar
  1 cup water

Instructions

Add 1 1/2 cups room temperature water to a 2 cup (1/2 pint) mason jar. Add 2 tea bags and submerge in water so they are well moistened.Add fruit and herbs as you like. Cover and refrigerate 12-24 hours.

Meanwhile, prepare simple syrup by combining sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Allow mixture to come to a boil, then boil for 1 minutes. Allow to cool then remove to a jar. Cover and refrigerate up to one month.

Remove tea bags and sweeten to taste with simple syrup or honey sweetener. (I find 1-2 Tbsp of simple syrup works well with this amount of cold brewed iced tea.) Stir sweetener in and add ice cubes. Enjoy!
