Cold Brewed Jasmine Iced Tea - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 ounce loose leaf jasmine green tea (I get mine from www.teadojo.com)
3 liters filtered room temperature water
1 -2 tablespoon raw sugar or 1 -2 tablespoon honey
1 lemon

Preparation

In a large pitcher combine the tea and water. Mix the sugar or honey with about a cup of hot water so that it dissolves and will mix with the room temperature water. Add the sugar/ hot water mixture to the pitcher. Put the pitcher in the refrigerator (preferably before you go to sleep) and let the tea leaves soak until morning (9-12 hours). Add lemon to taste and then pour the tea through a strainer so as to catch the tea leaves before serving.
