You may, of course, just drop a tea bag in hot water and make your iced tea with that, if that is your preference. But loose tea leaves have a deeper flavor, and I wouldn’t want you to miss the total iced jasmine tea experience.

To make iced jasmine tea with loose tea leaves, you start as though you were making a cup of hot tea.

Drop a generous pinch of tea leaves in a cup and pour in hot water. Not too much but just enough to allow the leaves to steep. Strain the brew into a glass, add cold water, honey and lime juice, drop in ice, sit back, sip and enjoy.

Brewing jasmine tea in hot water

For best results, remember not to let the tea leaves steep for too long because that will make the brew bitter. It’s not the length of steeping time that will make the tea strong but, rather, the amount of tea you use. If you want strong tea, use more tea leaves.

If making more than one glass of iced jasmine tea, it is a better idea to use a teapot with a strainer. That way, no tea leaves will find their way into the mixed drink.
