How To Make Iced Black Tea

To make this tea, I'm using sweet lychee black tea. Now, most people, when making cold tea, they tend to be brewing tea with double the quantity and half the water amount. But I think the best way to extract the sweet flavor of black tea is to actually do a cold infusion.

Now, in this pot, I have some lychee black tea that has been fused in cold water overnight. Over at least 4 or 5 hours, I would say. I have here, also, a glass of ice.

There is no sweetener as you can see. Some mint to decorate because lychee tea is lychee black tea, is a scented black tea that's naturally sweet. So, you do not need to add anymore honey or sugar or syrup.

So, it's a very healthy drink. So, after infusing for at least 4 hours, I will pour this with a filter, slowly into the cup. Now, this infusion here can be used as a base for a lot of alcoholic drinks.

So, in British summer, if you like, this can be a base for pints. I'm decorating it with a speck of mint. If you want, you can add fresh lime juice that will accent the lychee black tea flavor.

This is how you make iced black tea. .
