How to Make Pomegranate Iced Tea
Pomegranate Iced Tea
For this drink recipe, we will need:
- Tea kettle
- Teapot or heatproof container
- Tea bags
- Sugar
- Pomegranate juice
Steps:
- Boil about 9 cups of water in a tea kettle.
- Add in 8 black tea bags for every 8 cups of boiling water. Let the hot tea steep for a while after boiling. This will take about 10 minutes. Use a heatproof or a tea pot in steeping the tea. Mix the remaining 1 cup of water with a cup of sugar. Stir the sugar in the hot water until it dissolves. This will create sugar syrup. Set the sugar syrup for a while, and let your guests add them into their drinks according to their taste of choice.
- Take the tea bags from the tea pot and then add about ¼ cups of sugar into it. Stir in the dissolved sugar. Place the heatproof container or the teapot inside the fridge for about 3 hours until it is really cold.
- Mix in 2 cups of pomegranate juice into the cooled tea. Add in ice into the container to make the drink even cooler.
- You can garnish your pomegranate iced tea with the lemon wedges or lime together with the ice.
