As for timing, steep black and oolong tea for 3-5 minutes green or white teas for 2-3 minutes, and herbal teas for 5+ minutes. *For black and herbal teas, a water temperature of 208 degrees Fahrenheit is recommended for oolong, green and white teas, 175-185˚F degrees is best to avoid burning the delicate leaves. For an tasty and decorative flourish, add a slice of citrus, sprig of fresh mint, or garnish of your choice to each glass. Once steeped, pour the tea into a serving pitcher and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or let cool to room temperature and serve over extra ice.Be sure to add the sweetener while the tea is still hot and stir well until fully dissolved. To sweeten, add 1/4 cup of sugar or honey per 1 gallon and adjust to taste.Add an additional 1-2 teaspoons of tea leaves for a stronger, bolder flavor, or if using a delicately-flavored tea. For example, if you're making 8 cups of tea, then steep eight 8 teaspoons of loose tea leaves in 8 cups of water. For a batch of iced tea large enough to fill a pitcher, use 1 teaspoon of loose leaf tea per 1 cup of water. To steep, pour hot water over the leaves and steep for the blend's recommended period of time.Begin by preparing hot water, following the temperature and timing guidelines recommended for the type of tea you’re making.*.Last but not least, for a flavor-forward iced tea with unforgettable pink hue, try the gently tart Hibiscus Blossom or Cherry Cosmo blends, each with its own light, fruity aftertaste, or Strawberry Hibiscus, a tantalizing oolong tea with familiar strawberry balancing the tang of tropical flower petals. The upside to both of these tea blends from The Wellbeing Collection: their energizing ingredients (including powerhouse antioxidants) and nonalcoholic nature make them a perfect bottomless energy drink on a hot day.
Invigorate offers the zing of ginseng root and a touch of matcha with the subtle herbal/floral hint of elderberry, also popular in crisp, refreshing bar concoctions. To get creative with your iced tea selection, consider blends that offer elements often found in classic summer cocktails: Radiance, for example, has a distinct rosemary note reminiscent of the garnish used in an ice-cold gin & tonic, complementing its grapefruit base.
