We've had a few people ask us how to make Iced Tea using Barn Owl's loose leaf teas. It's actually quite simple, and very similar to preparing hot tea. You can make iced tea with just about any type of tea, so feel free to experiment.
The key to a great cup of iced tea is DOUBLE the leaves, HALF the water.
To make a glass of iced tea, follow your steeping guide for a typical 8oz glass but use twice the amount of tea and half the hot water (e.g. 4oz to make an 8oz glass). Be sure to use the correct water temperature and steep times.
Once your tea has steeped for the right amount of time, pour the tea into a large glass. If you wish to use a sweetener, add it to the hot tea. Next, fill the glass with ice and stir. As the ice melts, it will dilute the tea while chilling it.
The end result is 8-ounces of delicious, hand-brewed loose leaf iced tea!
Loose leaf iced tea tastes great and is virtually calorie-free, so you can enjoy as much as you like or serve it to the kids as an alternative to sugary juices or pop.
