Brewing Instructions:
Use 1 heaping teaspoon per 6 oz cup; heat fresh water to a roaring boil; let steep for 7-10 minutes. This blend contains NO caffeine. Sweeten with SBS Teas Flavored Sugar Powder or Sweet Purple Haze Sugar.

Iced Tea Instructions:
Put 6 teaspoons of tea into a heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 10-15 minutes or longer. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into the pitcher straining the ingredients. Add ice and top-up with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.
