Awhile ago, I shared a recipe for Earl Grey Iced tea, enough just for one person to drink. However, since then I’ve been thirsty for more. What if you want to make a batch for an entire day or a whole party? Here’s the recipe to make the most delicious Earl Grey Iced Tea!
By the way, this blog is not sponsored by Choice Tea! It’s just what I had on hand. I also like Twinings, Harney and Sons, and Numi for their Earl Grey as well.
Earl Grey Iced Tea
Ingredients
- 6 Earl Grey Iced Tea Bags
- 2 cups boiling water
- 5 cups cold water
- 1/4 cup honey or granulated sugar
- handful of ice
Instructions
- In a saucepan, bring two cups of water to boil. Once it is boiling, turn off the heat and add the tea bags. Steep for 15 minutes.
- Remove the tea bags and pour 1/4 cup of honey or granulated sugar into the tea. Stir with a spoon to make sure it mixes well.
- Pour your tea concentrate into a pitcher or large container. Add 5 cups filtered cold water, and put it in the fridge.
- Wait 1 hour to cool completely, and then serve with ice. You can also serve immediately, you will just have to use more ice.
Again, if you’d like a batch small enough for one person, just check out my old recipe here.
By the way, this concoction is STRONG. Most recipes recommend 6 tea bags to 8 cups of water, but I cut mine to 7 because I prefer tasting more of the Earl Grey flavor. (It is my favorite boba flavor, after all.)
It may taste a little watered down with the ice, but drink it too late in the afternoon and you might just be a little wired at night. If you’d like a more drinkable light iced tea, just add another cup of water.
This recipe also works well if you’d like a strong English Breakfast iced tea. I would steer clear of Irish Breakfast though, it’s a little strong.
Cheers!
