Here are just a few examples of some of the delicious icy-cold concoctions you can make in the jug :

 

Plain Iced Tea

Make a brew of tea using 4 teabags and 4 cups of water (filtered water will give a far better taste). Allow the tea to steep for no more than 5 minutes, otherwise it may become bitter. You can use either traditional black tea or lighter-tasting green tea.

In a large jug place 1 cup of sugar and 4 cups of cold (filtered) water. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Pour your brewed tea into the sugar/water mixture and stir. Adding the hot tea to the cold water helps prevent the finished drink from becoming cloudy.

Allow to cool further then serve in glasses over ice. Sprigs of mint make an attractive garnish

 

Smooth Sweet Tea

Ingredients

1 pinch baking soda

2 cups boiling water

6 tea bags

3/4 cup white sugar

6 cups cool water


Directions

Sprinkle a pinch of baking soda into a 64-ounce, heat-proof, glass pitcher. Pour in boiling water, and add tea bags. Cover, and allow steeping for 15 minutes.

Remove tea bags, and discard; stir in sugar until dissolved. Pour in cool water, then refrigerate until cold.
