Do you make your own or buy it?

If you make your own, can you share how you make it.

I guess I've never made proper iced tea, only tea to which I added ice cubes.

But I suppose if were to make it, it would be similar to how I make cold brewed coffee (crush beans, soak in cold water over night).

With tea, do the same, soak tea bags in cold water overnight, along with some lemon or other fruit to add to the flavor. After 12-24 hour, remove tea and any fruits, and serve.

I use Luzianne tea bags.

Take two bags and boil in a small pot of hot water till water is dark.

Pour into a picture and add water till tea becomes the clarity or clearness that you like.

Add sugar while it is still warm, if you like sweet tea. Adding sugar after the tea is cold doesn't do much for it other than collect at the bottom.

I don't add ice into the picture of tea. I wait and add ice to a glass when I am ready for it.

I don't put the tea in a refrigerator either. Tea left in a refrigerator over night has a bad taste to me.

I make only enough for the day, and leave it out on the counter to use when I am ready.
