Enjoy your Chicken Pizza with a glass of homemade iced tea. It’s a simple and complete non-alcoholic drink. The ultimate refresher.
Ingredients
- 4 bags of black tea (or 3 tablespoons of loose-leaf tea)
- 4 cups of boiling water
- 4 cups of cold water
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, honey, or simple syrup (adjusted to your preferred sweetness)
- 1 large lemon, sliced into rounds
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- Ice cubes (plenty of them)
Instructions
- Place your tea bags or loose-leaf tea into a large, heat-safe pitcher or bowl. Pour the 4 cups of boiling water directly over the tea.
- Allow the tea to steep for 4 to 5 minutes. Do not leave it much longer, or the tea can become bitter. Remove and discard the tea bags or strain out the loose leaves.
- While the tea is still hot, add your sugar, honey, or simple syrup. Stir thoroughly until the sweetener is completely dissolved.
- Pour the remaining 4 cups of cold water into the pitcher and stir well. Place the pitcher in the refrigerator for at least 1 to 2 hours until it is thoroughly chilled.
- Fill tall glasses generously with ice cubes. Pour the chilled iced tea over the ice, garnish with fresh lemon slices and a sprig of mint, and serve immediately.
