Ingredients

2 cups hot water
4 tea bags or 4 tablespoon loose leaf tea choose your favorite tea
1-2 teaspoon sweetener of your choice (honey, sugar, maple syrup) optional

OR:

cold brew tea

Instructions

Brew the tea:

Bring water to a boil (or to an appropriate temperature for your tea).
Steep tea bags or loose leaf tea in the hot water for 5 minutes. Stir in sweetener if desired.
*Note: It's better to steep the tea a little stronger than how you'd normally enjoy it, as the flavor will mellow out when frozen.
Let the tea cool.
Or: use a cold brew tea (since cold brew is mild, you can increase the number of tea bags to make it a little more strong).

Pour into molds:

Pour the cooled tea into ice cube trays or silicone molds.
Add any optional garnishes like mint or fruit pieces.

Freeze:

Place in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours or until completely frozen.

Notes

It's better to steep the tea a little stronger than how you'd normally enjoy it, as the flavor will mellow out when frozen and diluted.
