To enjoy iced tea without it being diluted by melting ice, brew a double-strength infusion using half the usual water. Allow the tea to steep for different times based on the type, resulting in a concentrated flavor that remains robust even with ice. Iced tea, a classic summer beverage, gained popularity at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis when it was first served chilled. For an extra chill, place glasses in the freezer prior to serving.
The key to avoiding less-than-stellar iced tea is to make the flavor of the iced tea strong so that it doesn't fade when the tea is poured over ice.
This creates a kind of concentrated tea where the flavor is stronger and more prominent when poured into a glass and sipped.
Iced tea may be a Southern comfort staple, but it rose to prominence at the World's Fair in 1904, where the blending of tea with ice cubes made waves.
Even with a double-infused tea, those planning to have guests over can get perfectly chilled drinks by sticking glasses in the freezer before pouring.
