What each ingredient does
- Tea
- Provides the main flavour and aroma of the drink.
- Ice
- Chills the tea quickly and keeps the drink cold as it is served.
The step that matters
Strain the tea to remove the leaves. Leaving the leaves in while the tea steeps and chills lets it keep extracting tannins, which can make the drink bitter and astringent. Removing them once brewed keeps the flavour clean.
