To correctly give an exact answer to this question, it is worthy to note that there are many types of iced tea available nowadays. The recipe will greatly vary depending on your choice such as smooth sweet tea, Boston iced tea, lemon iced team, peach orange iced tea, raspberry iced tea, lemonade and mint iced tea, good ol’ Alabama sweet tea, mint tea punch, honey lemon tea, and South Carolina sweet tea.
However, for the purpose of this question, here is the recipe for making the traditional iced tea: You would need to have 3 to 4 bags of black tea, sugar to taste (depending on the amount of sweetness you prefer), ice cubes, water, and mint (although this is optional). Just boil the water in a small pan or pot, turn off the heat, add the bags of tea and leave it for five minutes. Pour the tea into a pitcher or a glass and wait for it to cool down. Pour at least two cups of water into the tea, refrigerate until chilled, and then serve with a glass of ice.
