Today, I was craving something quick and refreshing, so I tried making instant black tea. I heard about it and thought, why not give it a go?

First, I gathered what I needed. Here’s what I grabbed:

• Black tea bags – just the regular kind I had at home
• A big mug
• Some ice cubes
• Sugar – because I like my tea a little sweet
• Water, of course

I started by boiling some water in my kettle. While waiting, I dropped a couple of ice cubes into my mug. Once the water was boiling, I poured it over the tea bag in a separate cup and let it steep for a good five minutes. I wanted to make sure it was nice and strong.

After five minutes, I took out the tea bag and stirred in a spoonful of sugar until it dissolved. Then came the fun part – I poured the hot tea over the ice cubes in my mug. It made this cool hissing sound, and I watched as the ice cubes melted away, instantly cooling down the tea.

I added a few more ice cubes to make it extra cold, gave it a quick stir, and took a sip. It was pretty good! The tea was strong, slightly sweet, and really refreshing.

My Final Thoughts

This instant black tea thing is a winner. It’s super easy and fast, perfect for when you need a quick tea fix. Plus, you can tweak it to your liking – more sugar, less sugar, different types of tea, you name it. I’m definitely making this again!
