Instant Pot Iced Tea is refreshing and very easy to make. Pressure cooker iced tea is not bitter, and you can make it as strong as you like.
Pour the water into the inner liner of the pressure cooker.
Add the tea bags. Close the lid and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.
Press the Pressure Cook (Manual) button or dial and then the +/- to select 4 minutes. It will take a few minutes to come to pressure.
After cook cycle has finished, turn off the pot and let the pot sit undisturbed for 20-30 minutes. This will keep the tea from becoming bitter (Quick Release makes the water boil, causing bitterness).
Manually release the remaining pressure/steam. There shouldn't be much left. When the pin in the lid drops back down, open the lid and remove the tea bags.
Add sugar, stir, and taste. Start with the lesser amount and add more, if desired.
Serve over ice and garnish as you like.
To make the peach Iced tea I mentioned in the post, start with 1 Tbsp of Peach Simple Syrup in 8 oz glass of the iced tea. Then taste and add more if you wish.
