Pear and Vanilla Iced Tea
For this iced tea, I use pear vanilla rooibos tea. However, you can make it with any fruity rooibos tea, such as peach. I encourage you to use the tea flavor of your choice and don’t hesitate to try this recipe with whatever tea you already have at home.I suggest two methods for cooling your tea after steeping: either place the steeped tea in the fridge for several hours and then add ice and extra water later, or fill your pitcher with ice cubes and mix — it cools the tea immediately. Since I’m not very patient, I usually fill my pitcher with ice so I can enjoy my iced tea right away!In short, it’s a very simple recipe and perfect for cooling down in the summer. I hope you give it a try! This recipe yields 2.5 L of iced tea.
