BASIC SWEET TEA (GREEN TEA)
This is a simple recipe, yes. However, I've had some British/Irish/Scottish friends in the past who've taught me what real tea tastes like, and I've found that I like this flavor to be present in both hot and cold forms of the beverage. Not to criticize, but many Americans don't understand the specifics of how to brew tea to its full potential and flavor. Some overbrew it, some underbrew it. I will be covering brewing both black and green teas for making sweet iced tea, in separate recipes.

Steps:
- Put the ice aside in a container or pitcher that can withstand the hot tea without breaking and put it in the fridge while you're brewing.
- Heat the 40 oz. of water in a pot, but not to a boil. It should be able to produce steam, but should not be boiling (boiling water overbrews green tea). Place the teabags in the hot water, and allow them to brew for 1 to 2 minutes while maintaining the current heat (hot but not boiling). Do not let the tea brew too long or it will end up too bitter.
- Remove the tea bags from the pot, remove the pot from the heat and stir in the cup of cane sugar. It will dissolve almost instantly into the tea. Allow it to stand for a minute as your retrieve the container/pitcher.
- Carefully pour the brewed tea into the container. It will melt most of the ice instantly, evening out the temperature so that the tea does not damage the container. Chill the tea further before serving.

MOROCCAN MINT TEA
You can barely take a step in the markets of Marrakech without tripping over fresh mint, or at least without being offered a glass of hot, sweet mint tea. Be sure to lift the teapot high above the cup while pouring; Moroccans appreciate the way this aerates the tea (and they always pour with great panache).

10 GREEN TEA RECIPES TO MAKE AT HOME - INSANELY GOOD

- Iced Green Tea with Mint and Honey. If you don’t like green tea because it isn’t sweet enough for you, try this recipe, which will have you add honey, mint, and a few lemon slices to the drink.
- Matcha Green Tea Ice Cream. Although there are four different ways to make this deliciously earthy, slightly sweet matcha green tea ice cream, the easiest one uses only four ingredients and takes very little time.
- Spicy Green Tea Noodles. If you’re looking for a more savory option, try these spicy green tea noodles instead. They’re a hot, herby option that’ll help bring a little Asian flair into your dining room.
- Starbucks Pink Drink. Do you like strawberries? Cold, creamy drinks? The color pink? If so, Starbucks’ Pink Drink is the drink for you, and you can make it at home and save yourself some cash.
- Matcha Green Tea Cookies. These cookies are supremely buttery, and despite their smooth, soft-looking appearance, they’re also highly crunchy. Of course, it goes without saying that they’re also delicious.
- Iced Green Tea Latte. This recipe is another Starbucks copycat recipe. It doesn’t turn out as much like the original as the Pink Drink recipe, but it’s close enough.
- Matcha Green Tea Smoothie. This smoothie recipe is one of my favorites! It has a somewhat tropical taste thanks to the bananas, mango, and coconut milk, but matcha and baby spinach tone that down a little while still leaving it sweet and tasty.
- Green Tea Chocolate. Green chocolate may sound even less appetizing than green eggs and ham, but I assure you it’s anything but unappetizing. You’ll make it from 14 ounces of decadent white chocolate, heavy whipping cream, unsalted butter, and some matcha.
- Green Tea Oatmeal. Even without the additional toppings – which you can tailor to suit your tastes – this thick, creamy oatmeal is unbelievably filling.
- Strawberry Basil Iced Tea. And last but not least, here’s another way to enjoy green tea that doesn’t taste much like green tea. It takes only 15 minutes to make, but it tastes better after giving it 4 hours to chill.
