Instant Iced Tea
Follow instructions for brewing hot tea on the package, except increase the amount of tea by 50%. When the tea has brewed the suggested amount of time, strain it, and pour directly over ice.

Cold Brew Iced Tea
Add 8 rounded teaspoons of tea in a gallon container. Fill the jug with cold water. Let steep overnight (at least 8 hours). Strain and serve over ice. This method requires much less tea, but lack teas may turn out lighter.

Iced Tea Concentrate
Brew 1 3/4 cup tea(dry mixture) with 8 cups water. Follow hot tea instructions on package for correct brewing temperature and time. Strain into another container. Keep refrigerated. Dilute 1 part concentrate to 2 parts water ratio. Serve over ice.

Makes a very smooth tea.
