Different methods to prepare Iced tea :
Ingredients:

- water
- ice cubes
- sugar syrup ( mixing sugar and water together because sugar cubes doesn't get mixed in iced tea ).
- slice of orange or lemon wedges and mint leaves for garnish.
You can pick your own method according to your own convenience
Hot Brew: If using loose leaf tea, pour one cup of hot water over two tea bags in a glass or ceramic pitcher. Let steep for five minutes, then strain using a tea strainer or fine mesh strainer to remove the leaves. Pour one cup of cold water into the concentrate to dilute it then serve it over ice. If using tea bags, you'll follow the same procedure, just use two tea bags instead of the loose tea and instead of straining, simply remove the spent bags.
Cold Brew: In a pitcher, pour two cups of cold water over about a tablespoon of loose tea (or one tea bag) and let it sit in the refrigerator for eight to twelve hours or overnight. Then just pour the tea over ice to serve.
Sun Brew: Follow the cold brew ratio above. Before you begin, douse the tea leaves or tea bag in boiling water (just enough to get it wet) to sterilize them, since there's a small risk of introducing bacteria to the brew if you're leaving it out in the sun for awhile. Instead of letting it steep in the refrigerator, leave the pitcher by a sunny window or in spot outside that gets full sun for six hours—serve it over ice when finished.
