~1~

Iced tea will get cloudy when too many tannins (astringent compounds) that are naturally in tea leaves, are released into the water. This happens when water is too hot during the tea brewing process. If you do get cloudy tea, just add some hot water into the iced tea to clear it up.

~2~

Iced tea can be made and kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

~3~

Don't use tap water to make iced tea. The best tasting tea is made with the best tasting water. Use filtered water  if you can.

~4~

Any tea can be made iced from black tea to green.

~5~

It's best to use simple syrup (liquid sugar) in iced tea, since it incorporates into the cold beverage the easiest. Simple syrup is easy to make at home. Just mix sugar and hot water in equal parts until the sugar dissolves.
