Instructions
1
Brew Tea in Instant Pot
Start by pouring 5 cups of water into your Instant Pot and add the sugar along with the tea bags. Close the lid and set the pot to high pressure for 5 minutes. It will take about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up before the timer starts.
2
Release Pressure Safely
Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for about 15 minutes. After that, carefully use the quick-release to let out any remaining pressure before opening 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 brewed tea into a pitcher, add the rest of the water, and give it a stir. Serve your iced tea over ice with a few lemon slices and some fresh mint for a refreshing touch.

Serving Suggestions
Serve your iced tea over plenty of ice cubes to keep it chilled. Garnish with lemon wedges, fresh mint, or a few berries for a pretty touch. It pairs wonderfully with light snacks like sandwiches or fruit salads.
Storage Tips
Store the iced tea in a clean, airtight container in the fridge. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days. Give it a quick stir before serving, and avoid leaving it out at room temperature for long periods.
