1. Boil water
2. add tea variant of your liking
3. put in lemon and any flavoring of your liking (e.g. mint)
4. pour small amount in ice-cube tray. freeze this. put the rest in refrigerator
5. serve cold with ice-tea cubes

>bringing the water to a boil instead of heating it just till it steams
damn son, what did those poor tea leaves ever do to you?

>>10730909

Properly made Long Island Iced Tea both looks and tastes like iced tea while containing no tea, which is why it isn't called something else.

>>10731178
>not boiling the water and then letting it cool down a bit before pouring it over the leafs

>>10731326
sorry, I don't live in a third world country where you gotta boil water to make it safe

>>10731331
no, but you seem to live in a country with a shitty power supply, and thus unable to use an electric kettle

>>10731339
>boiling water just to let it cool
seems wasteful to me anon. but it's what I've come to expect from eu scum

>>10731347
alright, 100 voltlet

I'll be enjoying my superior 240 volts

>>10731358

>>10730687
3 bags luzianne green tea
1bag twinnings pomegranate green tea
1-1.5 L water
Boil, remove, let rest until cool.
Add water to make 1 gal
Notice sugar is not an ingredient. Sweet tea is for fucking niggers.

Buying it is a solid method

>>10731408
>lipton

>>10732837

You piece of shit. Sweet tea is the GOAT

>>10733973
southerner here, can confirm

>>10731005
rude

>>10730687
Boil water with two family-size bags of Luzianne tea, pour into pitcher while still hot and mix two cups or so of sugar then fill rest of pitcher with water while stirring, put in fridge to cool slowly or pour into glass with plenty of ice to cool rapidly.

>>10734300
Forgot a step. Be sure to pour it into the pitcher through a strainer, and press out whatever is still in the bags with it.

>>10732837
Well fuck. White nigger here

>>10730687
>god tier
>iced tea
lol what a horrible misconception to have

>>10731331
Neither do I, but cooking water allows for the minerals in it to settle a bit, which makes your tea taste better.

>>10731005
>>10731016
you guys are a hoot

>>10734300
2 cups of sugar??????
Your teeth. Oh my God your teeth. Do you have Dew mouth??? You have to. Do you have a tooth left????

chopped fruit, crushed ice, slice of lemon

>>10734832
I have all my teeth left, actually. Again I'm not sure of the exact amount of sugar to use as I haven't made it in a very long while. Most of my sweet tea consumption is from restaurants these days, which are just a weekend thing for me now.

Just make sun tea. Adjust the number of tea bags. Ignore autists. Add sugar. Everyone's idea of how much sugar is different. Do what you like. I like lemon slices too. Chill in fridge then add ice cubes in tall glass. Stir with long spoon. Hold the spoon to the back of the glass while you sip. That's it probably. Add mint if you're into that.

When I make iced tea I literally just put some tea bags in cold water and leave it in the fridge for a few hours.

Am I retarded?

You gotta let it brew. Leave it hot for a while.

>>10739397
Yes. But if you enjoy the end result then I guess not.

>>10730687
Put tea in water
Put in fridge

Any other answer is a meme

>>10730687
Make Sun tea instead.

>>10740421
Sun tea is good

Higher voltage means less energy wasted as heat. P = U x I. If you have a 1000 Watt microwave, at 100 Volts you need 10 Amps of current. Current running through your wires creates heat. At 240 V you only need 4.2 A of current. The heating up of the wires also increases their electrical resistance, further decreasing the efficiency of a 100 V grid. 100 V is scientifically inferior to 240 V.
