There isn't really a way to make it from scratch. You either buy ice tea. Or make tea, cool it down, and add ice. Buying tea bags and making it that way is cheeper than buying ice tea. You can but a whole box for a dollar or two (american idk how it compares there but should stil be cheap). Hope that helps at all!
This. That's pretty much the only way of making iced tea... unless you get that powdered stuff which isn't that good though.

~Thanks Jade~

Whats the ratio though? How many bags to how much water?
And is some tea better than others?

I figured that was the way.

I'm nit sure of the exact ratio but you can for sure find that online somewhere. Flavours are really just up to preference. I would stick to lemon, peach, normal flavours.

I love Arizona Iced Tea. Their Green Tea with honey and Pomegranate with Acai are my favorites.

Cheers, I had a quick squiz online but thought I might try asking people I actually know first! haha.I'm nit sure of the exact ratio but you can for sure find that online somewhere. Flavours are really just up to preference. I would stick to lemon, peach, normal flavours.
I'll give it a try today.
Is that with the powdered tea? I don't think I've ever seen it for sale before.There's usually a ratio on the box for making how ever much tea. I would experiment though because it all depends how strong you want the tea to be.

That's a good idea too. Ask someone's mum lol
Arizona tea is bottled ice tea. Idk if they sell it outside the US. It is extremely cheep though. Goes on sale sometimes 2 big bottles for $1

They do sell tea bags, but only in limited flavors...though that's not a problem really since all their flavors are amazing haha.Is that with the powdered tea? I don't think I've ever seen it for sale before.
Arizona Iced Tea
They're mostly known for their tall cans though. Like Arie said, a can is 99 cents. They do sell the powered kind too. Not sure if they sell in New Zealand though...

Have you been to NZ?If it makes you feel better, you guys have amazing scenery. Nothing like that here in the US haha.
The scenery is alright I guess. You got to drive out to it though, otherwise its fairly standard.
The US has everything from desert to snow. I've been in snow twice in my life!

Flavor is up to personal preference, but in terms of health benefits green and black tea are more beneficial. Green tea contains a lot of antioxidants and research has shown it's good for memory and cognition. It also has heart benefits and is shown to help fight cancer. Black tea has many of the same benefits to a lesser extent. That's not to say other teas aren't good for you, but their benefits aren't as high as green or black tea. Honestly tea in general, no matter what kind you drink, is better than a lot of stuff out there (like soda, sports drinks, ect.)And is some tea better than others?

I made it too strong. Also I read that you could use honey as a sweetener. That didn't really taste as swell as I had imagined it would........It didn't work? What did you do?
I don't know the right ratios or nothing.
Good thing I drink loads of tea then! haha.Flavor is up to personal preference, but in terms of health benefits green and black tea are more beneficial.

Tea's good stuff man. I had lemon leaf tea in Fiji, that stuff was magic. Word of advice though, it isn't the same as a regular lemon tree leaf hahaa
