How to Make Iced Tea With Cold Water

Step 1
Start with a pitcher or container that easily fits in your refrigerator. I prefer glass because over time the tea will permanently stain plastic; glass can easily be cleaned with liquid soap or cleanser.
Step 2
Fill your container with cold tap water; I like to add one glass of water at a time(don't fill to the top-allow room for ice cubes) marking each glass on the outside of the pitcher with small strips of plastic tape(you can easily see how many glasses are left).
Step 3
Select the proper number of tea bags and holding all the "labels" in one hand, spin the bags together to form a tight string. Place the bags in the water and hang the "tags" out over the pouring spout; place in the refrigerator. I usually let it steep overnight, but in 6 to 8 hours the tea should be ready; be sure to remove and discard the tea bags as they will make the tea bitter if left in the container.
