Cold Brew Iced Tea

Cold Brew Iced Tea is easy to make and results in a very smooth and sweet iced tea! Make it by the pitcher, so there's plenty to go around.

Ingredients

  • 8 cups water
  • 8 tea bags see notes
  • 1 cup simple syrup optional, see notes

Instructions

  • Fill a pitcher or other large container with 8 cups of water.
  • Add the tea bags to the water, making sure to submerge them in the water.
  • Store the pitcher in the refrigerator for 12 hours.
  • Remove the tea bags and add simple syrup, if desired.

Notes

  • You can also use loose leaf tea instead of tea bags, depending upon your preference. 1 tea bag = approximately 2 grams loose leaf tea
  • My favorite way to sweeten iced tea is with simple syrup (flavored or unflavored), but you can sweeten your tea however you like. Or not at all!
