Brewing Instructions: Use 1 heaping teaspoon per 6 oz cup; heat fresh water to a roaring boil; let steep for 7-10 minutes to achieve the full flavor. This blend contains caffeine. Sweeten with SBS Teas Flavored Sugar Powder or Sweet Purple Haze Sugar. Iced Tea Instructions: Put 6 teaspoons of tea into a heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 10-15 minutes or longer. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into the pitcher straining the ingredients.
