Notes
For optimal flavor, always use filtered water when boiling to ensure the purest tea taste. While 10 minutes is a good starting point for steeping, you can adjust the time slightly based on your desired tea strength. Ensure the tea mixture is thoroughly chilled before serving; this enhances its refreshing qualities. To elevate the presentation and flavor, consider adding fresh mint sprigs or thin lemon slices to the pitcher before chilling, or directly into serving glasses.
