Instructions
  1. Bring water to a boil, then pour it over tea leaves placed in a glass and steep for 3-5 minutes.
  2. Remove or strain the tea leaves from the steeped tea.
  3. Let the tea cool down, then add ice cubes.
  4. Serve and enjoy your quick-grown iced tea.

Notes

For best results, use good quality tea leaves. You can experiment with different types of tea for varied flavors. Ensure the tea is steeped long enough to extract maximum flavor, but not so long that it becomes bitter. Adjust sweetness to your preference. Growing tea from seeds or cuttings takes significantly longer, so this 'quick grow' method likely refers to steeping pre-processed tea.
