QuestionWhy does tea turn cloudy in the refrigerator?Community AnswerCloudy iced tea could be caused by minerals in the water or by refrigerating it too soon after brewing. If the tea turns murky in the refrigerator, add a cup of boiling water to one quart of tea, it should clear up the cloudiness. Remember, it will also dilute the tea, so add less ice.
