This ice tea mix has a dark crisp taste with sweet and smoky undertones combined with small hints of citrus and currant.
Earl grey tea increases the citrus flavor and kambaa estate tea gives it a malty currant flavor.
Place 12 teaspoons of loose tea in Nylon Sock or use pantyhose. Tie nylon closed. There should be a lot of room for the tea leaves to expand.
Place tea leaves sock in a lidded GLASS jar that will hold at least one gallon. I used and old x-large pickle jar.
Fill the jar with water, and tighten the lid.
Place the jar in a sunny spot outdoors, and allow the tea to brew for 4 to 8 hours.
Remove tea leaves sock.
Refrigerate.
