The Easiest Iced Tea, Ever

The tea cabinet runneth over.

Red Zinger, working its magic

Drinks associated with summer? Lemonade, of course, but also iced tea.

The Splendid Table recently had a piece on the easiest, fool proof iced tea there is. That is: add your tea to cold water and place in the refrigerator overnight. Okay, that's pretty easy. Turns out, too, some teas need considerably less time than that.

I've tried this method with Good Earth green tea (which is flavored with lemongrass).

I'm also becoming quite addicted to using this method with Celestial Seasoning's Red Zinger herbal tea, which needs more like 15 minutes to "steep." And you really can taste the hibiscus without burning your tongue (as in, what I normally do when I make hot tea).

My dad had a couple of gallon jars (left over from Sam's Club fruit salad, I think) that he would alternate setting outside in the sun in the summer so we had a fresh jar of tea each day while the next day's was steeping. Yum. I'll have to try the fridge method.
