Stevia Sweet Iced Tea

Homesteading Dreams
Naturally delicious, stevia sweet iced tea.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 quarts of water
  • 3 large black tea bags for making iced tea or 6 small size (you can also use green tea instead)
  • 1/2 cup chopped stevia leaves no stems, just leaves

Instructions
 

  • Boil the water in a large stock pot.
  • Once boiling, turn off the heat and add the tea bags and stevia leaves.
  • If using black tea, let tea bags steep for 3 minutes, then remove the tea bags only. If using green tea, leave the bags in for at least 20 minutes ( I leave them in for a few hours along with the stevia).
  • Let the stevia leaves steep in the tea for a few hours, then strain the tea into a pitcher and refrigerate.

Notes

Adjust the amount of stevia to your liking - this can get really sweet with a lot of leaves so experiment with what works best for you. Of course, you can adjust the strength of the tea as well. I like to use 1 large or 2 small tea bags per quart. My pitcher happens to make 3 qts which is the suggestion in the recipe, but adjust to what you have on hand.
