Take Five for Bengal Spiced Iced Tea

Sharing is caring!

Take five and enjoy your favorite cold beverage. A couple of times a week, at least every four or five days, I make a gallon and a half of iced tea. I don’t just make plain brewed tea, I make Bengal Spiced iced tea. So you probably are wondering how I make this delicious tea.

I put ten regular tea bags and two Bengal Spiced tea bags in the eight-cup Pyrex measuring cup. Then I pour boiling water over the tea bags until the water level is about half and inch from the top of the large measuring cup. Then I cover it with a glass plate and leave it on the kitchen counter until it cools completely. Once it cools, I fill a half-gallon jug two-thirds full of cold water and then pour tea concentrate into the jug until it is full. The rest of the concentrate gets poured into a one gallon jug and I rinse the tea bags and pour it into the jug until the jug is full. I then add the tea bags I just used to the compost bin.

This is the iced tea that I take to work with me every day. I don’t sweeten it in any way. I have been complimented on its spicy unique flavor.

What is your favorite home-made beverage? Can you make it instead of buying it and thus save some money? I like to take five minutes to sit down and relax with a refreshing glass of this wonderful iced tea.
