How to make Iced green tea

There is no particular rule for making iced green tea. Nowadays, there are even tea bags for making iced green tea which you can buy at the grocery stores. You can also use regular green tea for making iced green tea. Today, I would like to introduce how to make iced green tea in both ways: 1. Using tea bags Pour 500cc water into a bottle and put one tea bag inside the bottle. Place the bottle into the refrigerator and keep it cool. After 15 minutes, take the bottle out from the refrigerator, and then squeeze the tea bag and remove it from the bottle. When you don't have time, you can also put ice cubes in the bottles to cool the tea instead of place it in the refrigerator. ( For a busy person) Before you go to bed, pour water into the bottle and add one tea bag. Place the bottle in the refrigerator. In the morning, iced green tea is ready to serve. 2.
