Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Red Zinger tea bags
- 6 cups Water
- 0.5 cups Fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Honey or sugar
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 4 pieces Lemon slices
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Boil 6 cups of water in a medium-sized pot.
Remove the pot from heat and add the 4 Red Zinger tea bags. Let the tea steep for 7-10 minutes, depending on your desired flavor strength.
Carefully remove and discard the tea bags, squeezing any excess liquid back into the pot.
Stir in the honey or sugar while the tea is still warm, ensuring it dissolves completely. Adjust sweetness to taste.
Allow the tea to cool for about 15 minutes at room temperature, then stir in the fresh lemon juice.
Fill a large pitcher with 2 cups of ice cubes, then pour the cooled tea over the ice.
Chill the pitcher in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to ensure the tea is fully cold and flavors are melded.
To serve, pour the iced tea into glasses filled with additional ice cubes. Garnish each glass with a lemon slice and a fresh mint leaf for added freshness.
