Iced tea recipe
information
This extremely refreshing drink is very fashionable in the warmer parts of America, where it is usually drunk outside on a 'deck', or verandah. With this method of making iced tea, the tea bags are infused in cold water, which creates a more delicate flavour. You can use other teas apart from Assam - Lapsang souchong and Darjeeling make good alternatives.
