Place the two tea bags in a measuring cup large enough to contain the milk.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over low, stirring frequently. Remove from heat when you see steam; do not allow the milk to boil.
Pour the hot milk over the tea bags in the measuring cup and let steep for 10 minutes.
Gently stir the tea bags and squeeze slightly before removing from the milk.
If adding sweetener to your tea, add it at this point and stir to dissolve.
Loosely cover the measuring cup with a towel and let cool for about 30 minutes. This helps reduce the chances of a skin forming on top of the tea as it cools.
Loosely cover measuring cup with plastic wrap and refrigerate the tea until cold.
Pour over ice in a glass to serve.
If Making A Bottle's Worth:
Once the tea has cooled down sufficiently in the fridge, pour the tea into a bottle and store in the fridge until ready to use.
Notes
I use whole dairy milk, but you can also use lower fat milk.
Try this with non-dairy milk, such as coconut, almond or soy milks.
If you want to add sweetener to your tea, add it to the tea after you remove the tea bags, while the milk is still hot. Stir well to dissolve
Between removing the tea bags and storing the tea in the fridge, cover the tea with a cloth to prevent a skin from forming on the tea as it is cooling.
