1. If you are going to pour the tea over ices, it is suggested to double the steeping time as it will result in a more robust flavor which might account for the process of diluting when the ice gets melted. Many people often rush and add ices immediately after brewing instead of letting it cool down. To enhance the flavor, you should wait for a few minutes so your hot tea comes down to the temperature in the room before placing it in the fridge.

2. Just like coffee, you would choose to cold brew your tea to save your time. Although this method isn’t popular as hot brew due to some disadvantages, it allows you to have a different profile of flavor such compared to steeping it in heated water. It is recommended to steep cold-brewed tea in the fridge for at least 12 hours and consume it within 1 or 2 days to avoid possible growth of bacteria. Don’t cold brew herbal teas or tisanes as their high moisture content would harbour bacteria when you leave them to sit for an extended period of time.

3.When it comes to sweetener, most people often use organic cane sugar for making their drinks. However, the top secret to creating a refreshing and tasty cup of iced tea is agave syrup, sugar syrup, or honey. These ingredients work well for home use because they won’t leave sugar grains in your cup and combine with iced tea much better. In case you only have granulated sugar, it is better to add it while the tea is still hot so that it would dissolve quickly.

5.When tea is served cold, the flavour often get dulls. If you want to drink a stronger drink, it is better to use more tea bags or a quality tea infuser mug or tea infuser bottle instead of extending the steeping time, which can bring out the bitter tannins in your tea. Ideally, you should use two bags for every three cups of water to get the best result.

6. Many people agree that black teas is one of the most popular options to make the best iced teas.Be creative and mix and match to create a unique cup of tea. You don’t have to worry about ruining anything as the stake is low and the possible reward is high.
