Make a pot of tea like you would if you were making it hot. Allow the tea to steep for at least 5 minutes. The longer the tea steeps, the stronger the brew and darker the color. Remove tea bags and pour into a pitcher. Add lemon peel and maple syrup to taste. Squeeze lemon wedge over pitcher and stir. Refrigerate tea until cool.
To serve, add ice to the pitcher and fill glasses with ice. Pour the tea over the ice. Add a lemon slice as a garnish.
Notes
The Culinary Chase’s Note: Using maple syrup or honey eliminates the need to make a simple syrup. Enjoy!
