In case you were wondering how to brew iced tea, we’ve got you covered! If you’re adding sugar to your tea, you’ll want to use the hot method and add the sugar in Step 2. If the sugar doesn’t completely dissolve, pour the mixture into a saucepan and heat it up on the stove top until it’s all melted.   High-res
