Green tea is good for you.It can be just as good if it is iced.It will be more refreshing on a hot day.Extra goodies, such as honey, lemon juice, or ginger slices, can be added to plain green tea if you don't like it.It's possible to mix it with lemonade for a hot summer treat.
Step 1: The water should be boiled in a large pot.
If you want to make a single serving, boil a cup of water in a kettle and pour it into a mug.
Step 2: Add the tea bags to the water by taking the pot off the stove.
The stronger your tea is, the more tea bags you use.You can make a single serving by dipping a tea bag into your mug.
Step 3: The tea should be steep for 3 minutes.
If you don't steep it, the tea will turn bitter.If you want a stronger tea, use more tea bags.
Step 4: Take the tea bags out of the water.
If you want, you can bob them up and down before taking them out.Before tossing the bags, be sure to squeeze out any excess water.
Step 5: Before you put the tea in the fridge, make sure it reaches room temperature.
Depending on how warm or cold it is, it may take up to an hour.Wait until the tea cools down before putting it in the fridge.The surrounding food may go bad if you put hot tea in the fridge.
Step 6: The tea should be left in the fridge.
This will take a couple of hours.
Step 7: The glasses need to be filled with ice.
If you leave enough room for the tea, you can add as much ice as you want.If you are making a single serving, fill a tall glass with ice.
Step 8: The tea should be put into the glasses with some honey.
If you want to save some tea for later, pour it into a jar or pitcher and put it in the fridge.3 to 5 days is how long the tea will last.Adding a small amount of mint to your green tea will make it more refreshing.
Step 9: A cup of cold or room temperature water is enough to fill a tall glass.
The bitter flavors of tea are brought out when you brew tea in hot water.It's not possible to brew tea in cold or room temperature water.It gives you a better taste.If you want to serve more, you can add a cup of water to the pitcher.
Step 10: The equivalent of loose-leaf tea can be added.
Some people think pouring the tea leaves directly into the cup results in a better flavor.Add a tea bag to the pitcher if you want to serve more.A tea bag is equal to 2 to 3 grams of tea.
Step 11: Place the cup or pitcher in the fridge for 4 to 6 hours to give the tea enough time to brew.
For a stronger brew, leave it in the fridge for 6 to 8 hours.
Step 12: Place ice in a tall glass.
Take out more glasses if you are having more.The plan is to have 1 cup of iced tea per glass.
Step 13: The tea bags need to be removed.
Give them a squeeze.Don't worry about it if you used loose-leaf tea.
Step 14: The tea should be poured into the glass.
Pour the tea through a strainer if you used loose leaf tea.If the tea leaves are coarse, you may need to line the strainer with a coffee filter.
Step 15: If you want, serve the tea with honey.
If you are using the honey, be sure to stir it.If you make a lot of tea, store it in the fridge and drink it within a few days.
Step 16: The mug should hold 12 cup of boiling water.
The consecrated green tea lemonade will be made with a small amount of hot water.Don't worry, you will add more water to your tea later.
Step 17: If you want, add a green tea bag and some sugar to the water.
If you want to use honey, skip the sugar and add the honey at the end.
Step 18: Take out the tea bag after 3 minutes of tea brew.
The bag should be squeezed to get out any excess liquid.
Step 19: Add the juice from the lemons to the tea.
Add some lemon juice to make it more tartness.
Step 20: Add 1 cup of cold water to stir.
The consecrated tea mixture will be made less acidic by this.
Step 21: The glasses should be filled with ice.
Leave enough room for the tea and how much ice you use is up to you.This recipe can be used to make 1 large serving or 2 smaller serving.
Step 22: The green tea lemonade should be poured over the ice.
The tea is still warm, so don't worry if the ice starts melting.This is normal.
