How to Make Easy Iced Tea

Before discovering the Lipton cold brew tea bags, I thought ice tea had to be made with hot water, which of course means a lot of waiting. It’s great to be able to make a glass of ice cold ice tea at the last minute, when this busy mama needs a little afternoon pick me up. I don’t like my iced tea too sweet, which is another reason I like to make it at home. I can add a drop of stevia, or leave it unsweetened.
