Iced Tea
Iced tea is a sweetened beverage made from tea and organic acids, and sometimes with flavouring adjuncts. It is popular in hot climates, usually served over ice. Fruit juices such as red or white cranberry, grape, orange, grapefruit and passionfruit can be added in amounts ranging from 10–25%.

Method 4 steps
Fill a drip coffee maker with cold water and place the tea bags in the basket.
Place the stevia, acid, and sugar in the pot, and place the pot in the machine.
Let it run through its cycle, then chill the product. This is a concentrate and will make several litres of iced tea.
Place some ice in a tall glass and fill 80–90% with cold water. Pour in some iced tea nectar. You may reduce the water and add some fruit juice if desired.
