Article: You can either boil the water in the microwave or use a kettle on the stovetop. If you use the microwave, it'll take about 2-3 minutes, but check it before putting it into the pitcher to make sure it's hot enough to steep tea in. If the water is boiling or steaming, it is hot enough. If you want to use a temperature gauge, aim for about 180 to 200F (82 to 93C). The ice helps cool the tea down quickly, and it'll also double your recipe once it has melted. About 2-3 hours in the fridge should be long enough to cool it down, but go ahead and serve the tea over additional ice if it's still a little warm. Try subbing out half of the ice for frozen berries instead. You can keep leftover iced tea in the fridge for 4-5 days. Just make sure to cover the top with a lid or plastic wrap so bugs can't get into it.

What is a summary?
Boil 4 cups (950mL) of water and pour them into a heatproof pitcher. Add 4 cups (950mL) of ice and refrigerate the tea until it gets cool. Garnish a glass with 1-2 slices of lemon, pour the tea, and enjoy!
