Rooibos Tea I bought some healthy tea from the Bulk Herb Store. Very gentle smooth tea. Wedding ~ I want 6 gallons for 120 servings.
Make 2 gallons, reuse leaves with 1 gallon water = 3 gal tea. Flavor in the cambro, pour into gallon jars. Do this twice using 8 oz tea leaves. This will still probably be quite strong enough to have some ice added when serving in the dispensers. ~Quicker large quantity: In gallon jars put 1.2 - 1.4 oz tea fill with 208* water steep and cool strain into something strain again into cambro sweeten pour into gallon jars to store. Basic steeping for hot tea:
1/2 oz 4 c water at 208* (just off the boil) steep 15 minutes. ~For Quick Iced Tea: 1 oz tea leaves into 1 gallon jar fill with nearly boiling water steep all day. strain once or twice (use the cambro for multiple gallons) sweeten allow time for 'resting' - the sweeteners really combine overnight. ~Another way for Iced Tea - Use the tea leaves twice with half as much water as the first time. ~Using 1 gallon tea kettle add: 1 oz tea to almost boiling water steep and cool. Add another quart of water and steep just one more time. Sweeten to taste and add lemon. ~Using my tea pot (makes 3 qts): 6 c water + 6 c water (because that is what fits in my pot) 1 oz tea Steep, strain, steep again, strain, mix and sweeten. ~1 gallon + 2 qts = 6 qts total: 2 oz tea Steep until cooled to room temp when using for iced tea. Add second batch of water and steep until cool, mix together. *Sweeten while still at room temp. ~2 gallons + 1 more gal = 3 gal total: 4 oz tea Steep in my 12 qt pot, strain into cambro when cool. Add second batch of water and steep until cool, mix together. ~Sweetener for 3 qts: 1/2 oz homemade stevia liquid 1/2 oz honey ~Sweetener for 6 qts: 1 oz my homemade stevia liquid AND 1 oz honey -Sweetener for 3 gallons: 2 oz homemade stevia liquid AND 2 oz honey
