It's easy to brew iced tea in your Instant Pot! Here's how.
10cups
Prep Time 5 minutesminutes
Cook Time 35 minutesminutes
Resting Time 30 minutesminutes
Ingredients
8regular sized tea bags
Instructions
Fill your Instant Pot with ten cups of water. See that measurement tool inside the pot? Just set the whole pot in your sink and fill ‘er up!
Put the vessel into your Instant Pot.
Add eight regular sized tea bags to the party. I remove the paper and the little tiny staple thingy.
Put the lid on and set the pressure cooker or instant pot to four minutes.
Now, because we have a big old pot of water, it’s gonna take a few minutes (like maybe 15) to come to pressure.
The countdown will start and it will cook four minutes
Let it sit for about 30 minutes to naturally pressure release (NPR). The pressure pin will drop once it's done depressurizing.
Then, let it cool, put into a pitcher and refrigerate!
Can I make a smaller batch of iced tea?
Yes, you sure can make a smaller batch of Instant Pot Iced Tea. Just half the recipe and use the same timing instructions.Can I re-use the tea bags for another batch?
Again, my answer is YES! Just add another few (like 2-3) brand new tea bags into the batch to keep the flavor profile going strong, just like we like it.Can I use this method for Sweetened Iced Tea?
Yes, you can add sweetener when the tea is still hot by adding your sweetener or choice or some simple syrup (sugar and water combined, boiled and made into a syrup.)
