How to make proper iced tea

Summer time!! Iced tea time!
How to make gourmet iced tea? Very easy, here is how.

1. Brew a tea by following the regular brewing instructions, but using Twice the amount of leaves. If you like the tea to be sweetened, I recommend raw sugar or honey. You can also put milk, soy milk, or half&half to make iced milk tea.
2. Fill glasses or pitcher approximately 3/4 with ice. (Use plastic or tempered glass only)
3. Immediately pour the hot tea over the ice, using a strainer to separate the tea leaves. If necessary, add more ice or cold water until the iced tea is diluted to nearly double its initial volume.
4. According to personal taste, add slices of lemon, lime, orange, or a few sprigs of fresh mint leaf to garnish the tea.

* The sudden cooling preserves the full aroma as well as the active ingredients of the tea. This method also prevents the usual cloudiness that often develops in black teas as they cool off.
