Ingredients

  • 8 green tea bags, strings removed
  • 8 cups water
  • cup honey

Instructions

  • Add water and tea bags to the pressure cooker (place tea bags in a steamer basket and submerge in the water for easy removal). Seal the lid and set to pressure cook on high for 4 minutes.
  • Allow a full natural release, then open and discard tea bags. *Do not squeeze the tea bags into the finished tea as this can result in cloudy and/or bitter tea.
  • Add the honey while the tea is still hot. Stir, taste and sweeten more if desired.
  • Refrigerate until chilled and pour over ice to serve.

Notes

Refrigerate without adding ice for best results. Pour over ice in individual cups to serve.
Iced green tea will keep well in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Sweeten with as much or as little honey as desired.
This tea can also be served hot. The Instant Pot makes it easy to make a big batch of hot tea for dinner parties, holidays, or brunch. 
Tips to avoid a bitter tea: complete a full natural release, do not squeeze tea bags into the water
