How many ounces of water are used for a traditional large, 24oz iced tea?

For a traditional large, 24oz iced tea, the correct amount of water used is 8 ounces. In preparing iced tea, it's essential to consider the brewing method and the tea-to-water ratio. Typically, for a stronger flavor, a standard guideline is to use about 1 ounce of tea leaves for every 2 ounces of water. Therefore, a standard batch size for iced tea would include around 8 ounces of water being combined with the appropriate tea leaves, which would be diluted further when ice is added.

This approach provides a balanced infusion that results in a refreshing iced tea that is not too weak in flavor. It's important to note that while brewing, the tea might absorb some water, but the preferred measurement for serving remains at 8 ounces for this size. Understanding these proportions is key to producing a consistent and delicious iced tea that adheres to Black Rock Coffee Bar's standards.
