There are so many teas that are perfect for cold brewing!
Typically, people prefer using a fruit tea. which is a great choice if you want to create something super juicy & refreshing!
There is no wrong way of cold brewing here! Be it black tea in oat milk, a chai in coconut milk, herbal tea in lemonade, or fruit teas in gin! What we love about cold brewing is that it's super diverse and so, so easy to do!
Cold brewing is such a fabulous way of making tea. It tastes a lot smoother because the flavour is slowly extracted over several hours. For some people, when it comes to cold brewing, it brings out flavours that they had never noticed before, compared to when they brewed it with just hot water! Amazing right?
As with hot water, black, green & oolong tea can overbrew if left too long, so it’s worth experimenting with different timings to get the perfect flavour for you!
Follow these easy steps:
Step 1
Add 5-6 heaped teaspoons of your loose leaf tea for cold brewing to your Cold Brew Bottle.
Step 2
Add 750ml of cold water or your liquid of choice (we like experimenting with lemonade, milks or spirits).
Step 3
Leave to brew for 4-6 hours or overnight. (If using black tea brew for max 3 hours to avoid bitterness.)
Step 4
Pour over ice & enjoy!
