    How to Reduce Bitterness from Brewed Tea

    A great way to use your Instant Pot to make Iced Tea without having to watch your pot boil. Add a pinch of baking soda prior to brewing to reduce any bitter taste of the tea.

    It is also best to remove the teabags as soon as possible after brewing. Tea contains compounds called Tannins which are released slowly. When the tea is brewing too long or too hot from boiling longer than required the tannins are released and the flavor is bitter.
