What better way to get in the mood for sunny weather than refreshing iced tea?! Watch the video above for step-by-step instructions to create these fresh and tasty iced tea drinks. 

Classic Iced Tea
  • 6 black tea bags 
  • 8 cups hot water
  • 1 lemon, zested and sliced
  • ¼ honey (optional)
  • 1 cup hot water (optional)
  • ice
Using a vegetable peeler, peel the zest of one lemon being careful not to get the white rind which is quite bitter.
Add the lemon zest and tea bags to hot water and stir.
Allow the tea to steep for 5 minutes.
Remove the tea bags and the zest and allow the tea to cool
completely.
For sweetened iced tea, add hot water to honey and stir until the honey is completely dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
In a pitcher combine ice and lemon slices.
Add tea and honey mixture and stir thoroughly.
