Instructions
1
Brew Tea Under Pressure
Start by pouring 5 cups of water into your Instant Pot or similar pressure cooker. Toss in the sugar and tea bags, then close and lock the lid. Set it to high pressure for 5 minutes. It might take about 10 to 15 minutes for the pot to come up to pressure.
2
Release Pressure Safely
Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for around 15 minutes. After that, carefully switch to quick release to let out any remaining pressure, which should take about 5 minutes. When it’s safe, open the lid.
3
Squeeze and Mix Tea
Take out the tea bags and give them a good squeeze to get all the flavor out. Pour the tea into a pitcher, add the rest of the water, and stir. Serve it over ice with some lemon slices and fresh mint for a refreshing touch.

Serving Suggestions
Serve the iced tea over plenty of ice to keep it cool and refreshing. Pair it with light snacks like fruit, sandwiches, or cookies for a perfect afternoon treat. You can also sweeten it with honey or simple syrup to taste.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover tea in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir before serving, as natural settling may occur. Avoid leaving it out at room temperature to keep it fresh and safe.
