    Iced Tea

    Recipe Introduction


    A very necessary cold drink for those who return home from
    the food bank and lust for something to quench their thirst


    List of Ingredients


    • Teabags (needed)
    • Water (needed)
    • Lemon Juice (Optional - needed))
    • Sugar (Optional - needed)
    • Artificial Sweetener (Optional - needed)
    • A VERY LARGE MASON JAR (NEEDED!)


    Instructions


    1. Fill a teapot or kettle with water and bring to a boil.
      Remove from stove/unplug and pour into room temperature
      mason jar. Add teabags and let steep to desired colour. Let cool before touching Mason Jar, or use
      insulated gloves to transfer into fridge.

      Once cold add ice cubes, lemon juice
      and/or sweetener to taste.

    2. Variations include using herbal teas such as 'FruitMixture', Orange, Strawberry, Black Currant teas

    3. Try to have 3 or four mason jars with various flavoured teas in your refrigerator for variety.

    4. Note, tea can be drunk 'HOT' just after steeping if you desire.



    Final Comments


    Tea like Coffee, contains a form of CAFFEINE called
    'THEINE' which might disturb you or keep you awake at
    night. Therefore it is suggested that you use decaf tea
    as much as possible. Coffee can be subsituted in the
    above method, but this requires a different method of
    steeping.
