Three ways to make iced tea
to make
Did you know there are several ways to make your own iced tea? With cold brew, you steep tea slowly in cold water for a smooth, fresh flavour. With hot brew, you brew the tea hot and let it cool, giving it a rich aroma. And then there is shock brew: tea brewed hot and immediately chilled over ice: quick, bold and extra refreshing.
