Pressure Cooker Iced Tea

Ingredients

2 apples peeled, quartered

5 tea bags I used Pure Leaf black tea with vanilla

6 cups filtered water

pinch of baking soda optional

Maple syrup or honey, to taste.

Directions

Add water to pot of pressure cooker, set to reduce, and bring to a simmer.

Once simmering, add the tea bags, apple quarters and baking soda, if using. (Baking soda helps cut the bitterness)

Close lid, and valves, cook at medium pressure for 5 minutes. Quick steam release.

Strain the tea into a large container, add sweetener 1 tbsp at a time, tasting in between. Tea will be a bit bitter when hot, so be cautious not to over-sweeten!

Chill in the fridge for a couple hours.

Serve over ice, and add cream if desired.
