How to make iced tea without ice?
Posted in Non-Alcoholic Drinks | Asked by Frank | 2012-02-21 00:47:55 | (7) answers

My ice maker doesn't make very much ice so if I make iced tea I'm out of ice for hours.Can I just make the tea without ice and throw it in the fridge and get the same basic result? How much water should I use since I won't be using ice?

You can make it with cold water. There are even tea bags specifically for making cold tea.

Just don't add in ice cubes.

How about:1. Make the tea2. Let it cool to room temperature3. Place the pitcher in the freezer until it gets icy cold (where ice begins to form on the top)4. Place the icy cold pitcher of tea in the fridgeor...5. Place the pitcher in the fridge and place your tumbler of iced tea in the freezer until it gets icy coldhttp://www.yoursmilingchef.com

One way is to put the container in the sun,(sun tea).Sweeten as needed and amount of bags as well.Then just put into the fridge.Next day great ice not needed.

Just use cold water. That's all the ice does anyways. Use the same amount of water. Also, why don't you just buy a bunch of ice-trays to put in your freezer? Then you would never run out of ice. They're really cheap.

Temper your pitcher by filling it with hot tap water until ready to use. When water is near boiling, add to pitcher along with the sugar and stir until water is completely clear. Twist teabags together and place in pitcher dunking a few times to get teabags wet. Let seep for several hours or until room temperature. Add to glasses of ice and enjoy.EDIT: just for you, here are 19 more variations for flavored teas for your enjoyment...http://allrecipes.com/Search/Recipes.asp…(there ya go! ;D)

It's called Iced tea..which means cold tea. If you are using a mix (gross)..you use the recommended water for each scoop. If you are making your own..use 1 teabag for each cup of barely boiling water..let it steep for 10 minutes..pour into container, add cut up lemon and sugar to taste
