How To Make Iced Cranberry Green Tea

To make this green tea, heat the water to a simmer, but not to a boiling point, because the heat from steeping the green tea in boiling water can destroy the benefits of catechins found in green tea.

1. Steep Green Tea. Bring the water to a simmer in a large pot. Remove from heat and add the tea bags and steep for 5 minutes. Pour the tea into a pitcher. 
2. Sweetener. Stir in the honey until it dissolves.
3. Add Juices. Pour the unsweetened cranberry and orange juices into the pitcher with the tea.
4. Enjoy. Serve chilled over ice and garnish with sprigs of mint and orange slices.

How To Steep Tea Bags

A good standard is to use about 1 teaspoon of loose tea leaves per 1 cup water or 1 tea bag per cup of water.

• Fill tea kettle or pot with cold water and heat to a simmer just before boiling then remove from heat.
• Add tea bag to tea cup and pour hot water over tea bag and steep (don’t squeeze tea bag while steeping because it will cause a bitter taste
• Remove tea bag and enjoy tea. 

Steeping Loose Leaf Tea

• Put loose tea leaves right in the cup or tea pot or place your tea leaves in a metal strainer and rest it on the lip of your tea cup while pouring the hot water over the tea leaves. 
• You can also add the tea leaves to a ball style infuser to dunk in your cup or pot. Be sure the tea infuser is fully submerged beneath water while steeping.
