Naoko Tsunoda, tea authority and director of tea development at Teavana, suggests the following tips to enhance your iced tea experience at home:
- Flavor Cubes: Instead of using water to make ice cubes for your iced tea, use another iced tea beverage to create a more complex beverage.
- Getting Fizzy with It: Brew double-strength tea with sweetener to taste; let it cool and then add sparkling water.
- Iced Tea-tini: Chill your double-strength brewed tea sweetened to taste, then mix it with a favorite spirit. Serve over ice or in a martini glass with garnish.
