Whenever I go to watch a movie, I would always look for a Wendy’s branch so that I can get myself a biggie order of their iced tea. I really love the citrus taste of Wendy’s iced tea. I especially appreciate that their iced tea is the fresh brewed type which is healthier than the powdered one.
There came a time that I was so addicted to Wendy’s iced tea that I bought one biggie order every single day for several months. It was expensive yet very addicting! So I realised why can’t I just make my own brewed iced tea? Besides, it’s pretty obvious based on the taste of the tea how it was prepared. I searched online for the best measurements for each ingredient and here is what I made!
