Ingredients

  • 4 teabags or 8 tsp loose leaf tea (use any tea you like, such as peppermint, black tea, green tea, or a flavoured herbal blend)
  • 1 L filtered water (about 4 cups)
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • ice

Instructions

  1. Boil 1 cup of water and pour into large jar.

  2. Add teabags to hot water and allow teabags to steep for 15-20 minutes. Add in sweetener of choice (if desired) and stir. If you're using loose leaf tea, you'll just strain the steeped water through a fine mesh before mixing it with the rest of the water in the next step.

  3. After tea has steeped, squeeze out extra water from teabags before removing and then set aside to cool a bit longer.

  4. Once mixture has cooled, pour in cold filtered water (about 3 cups to fill your jar).

  5. Add in ice, stir, and enjoy right away!
