Making you own iced tea couldn’t be simpler. All you’ll need is a tea of your liking and a large glass jar or pitcher. Use a ratio of 1/2 ounce tea per quart water. That works out to about 2 tablespoons loose tea or 5-6 tea bags. Strong black teas are the traditional base for iced tea, but feel free to experiment with green teas and herbal teas to find a flavor you like.
