Iced teas
Can you make sweet/ unsweet iced teas from loose-leaf teas?
Of course, you can! High-quality loose-leaf teas make the most refreshing iced teas—smooth, crisp, and oh-so-quenching!
While some might call it blasphemous to add sweetener/sugar to high-quality loose-leaf teas, here in Texas, where sweet iced tea is a beloved tradition, we have been using our loose-leaf to uplift the iced tea experience.
We have tried and perfected the art of turning your favorite loose-leaf tea into a delicious iced delight. It's time to try it for yourself. Here's how we do it:
Pro tip: Feel free to experiment with water amounts, temperature, steeping time, tea quantity, and sweetener quantity to find your perfect balance.
Steep suggestions for iced teas:
Amount of Water: 2 Liters Amount of Loose Tea: 10-12 grams (5-6 teaspoons) Steeping Time: 15-20 minutes Steeping Temperature: 190-200°F
Steps to Brew Iced Tea:
Step 1: Start with a 2-liter batch.
Boil water, then remove it from heat. Let it cool for 1-2 minutes until it's around 190-200°F.
Step 2: Add loose-leaf tea.
Add 10 to 12 grams of your favorite loose-leaf tea OR 5 to 6 teaspoons.
Step 3: Steep the tea.
Steep for 15-20 minutes (or longer if you prefer a stronger brew).
Step 4: Strain and cool.
Strain the tea, then let it cool down. Add ice.
(Pro tip: For best flavor, let it chill in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. Add ice when you drink.)
Step 5: Sweeten to taste.
Add your favorite sweetener, but remember that balance is key—don’t let the sweetener overpower the tea’s flavor. (Pro tip: As you sip, let the tea linger in your mouth for a couple of seconds to fully enjoy its rich flavors.)
