Instant Pot Iced Tea
Step aside cold brew, there's a new summer drink in town! Learn how to use your Instant Pot or other pressure cookers to make tea!
Ingredients
- 5 tea bags I used Pure Leaf black tea with vanilla
- 6 cups filtered water
- pinch of baking soda optional
- chopped fruit or herbs ex. apple, mint, strawberry
- Maple syrup or honey, to taste.
Instructions
- Add water to pot of pressure cooker, set to reduce, and bring to a simmer.
- Once simmering, add the tea bags, baking soda, and fruit/herbs, if using.
- Close lid and valve. Cook at high pressure for 5 minutes. Allow pressure to release naturally.
- Strain the tea into a large container, add sweetener 1 tbsp at a time, tasting in between. Tea will be a bit bitter when hot, so be cautious not to over-sweeten!
- Chill in the fridge for a couple of hours.
- Serve over ice, and add cream if desired.
