Iced Tea is a summertime staple but usually involves a fair amount of sugar. We’re breaking down our favorite iced tea recipes that don’t have any artificial sweetener or sugar but still have the great taste you love.
Sweet Tea
Sweet tea is a southern classic and the question is...Can SWEET tea be made without sugar? We think so.
Ingredients:
- 1 gallon of filtered water
- 3 family sized black tea bags (4 small tea bags = 1 family tea bag)
- 3/4 cup of Health Garden Stevia
- Bring 1 quart of water to a boil, remove from heat and add 3 family sized tea bags, steep for 10 minutes and remove tea bags.
- Put sweetener in a glass container or pitcher, pour in hot tea, and stir thoroughly to combine.
- After sweetener is dissolved, fill the gallon container with water and ice, stir again, and put in the fridge to chill.
Cold Brewed Iced Green Tea with Mint
