Fortunately, there are several ways to prepare iced tea without heating up your kitchen. One simple option is to use a microwave to heat water, which avoids generating excess ambient heat. While some tea enthusiasts claim that microwaving water can affect flavor, many people use this method without noticing any difference.

If you prefer an even lower-tech approach, you might try cold brewing. This method involves steeping tea leaves in cold water for a longer period, allowing the flavor to develop धीरे and gently. For more details, see this New York Times article on cold-brewing coffee and tea techniques by Harold McGee.

Another option is to use the sun’s natural heat to brew tea. For guidance on this method, refer to this Serious Eats guide to making sun tea safely and effectively. While concerns have been raised about potential risks, this Snopes article explaining safety considerations and testing common myths about sun tea offers helpful context and practical tips.
