Homemade Apple Ice Tea. Simple and so easy to make and absolutely perfect drink for the summertime. This summer try this delicious Apple iced tea recipe for a refreshed and rejuvenated feeling!
Fruity drinks are perfect to serve as summer drinks. Being an ardent tea fan iced tea is my favourite refreshing drink to cool down within summers.
But the packaged iced tea is too sweet which I usually avoid. SO, the next best solution to enjoy the iced tea at home is, to make your own ice tea.
These days I am completely digging the cold brews so instead of steeping in hot water allow the tea leaves to sit in regular water overnight and use that cold brew tea for making iced tea it will add a gentle flavour of tea to the Apple iced tea.
The above recipe gives you basic iced tea which is refreshing and super quick to make. But you know what’s better than regular iced tea? It is Flavoured iced tea. Peach iced tea and homemade Apple iced tea are the absolute best fruity drinks when I am serving non-alcoholic summer drinks.
Making iced tea at home is super easy and you can control the sweetness. When you make it at home, you can make small little tweaks according to your personal preference. And, that’s what makes homemade iced tea even more special! Isn’t it.

How to Make Apple Iced Tea?
