TIPS FOR ENJOYING YOUR COLD BREW
Making Your Tea Concentrate
Recipe
Teas come in many varieties, from white to green to black, herbal, rooibos, bagged
and loose leaf. As a jumping off point, we recommend trying 16 g of loose leaf tea,
or 8 tea bags, with 32 oz/950 ml cold water. The weight of the tea will vary by
type, so if you lack a scale, try using 1-2 teaspoons of loose leaf tea per cup of water.
Keep in mind the capacity of our Glass Carafe when sealed is 32 oz/4 cups, so be
careful not to overflow. The intensity and flavor of the concentrate will ultimately
depend upon the kind of tea, ratio of tea leaves to water, and brew time. We advise
you experiment to discover your perfect beverage!
Tea Type
You can use any tea you normally prefer drinking! We only advise against finely
ground or powdered teas, like matcha, which may inhibit filtration.
Bagged vs. Loose Leaf
Both bagged and loose leaf teas work. Tea bags often contain finer leaf particles than
loose leaf teas. Keep in mind that particle size, as well as type of tea, are factors that
influence extraction rate and flavor.
Brew Time
We recommend cold brewing your tea between 5-12 hours. Shorter brew times will
more likely produce a weaker tea, which you can drink straight or over ice. Longer
brew times may cause your tea to become more concentrated; however, be aware,
some kinds of tea leaves, like green tea, can become bitter if left to brew too long.
To Serve
Depending on the strength, you may want to
dilute your tea with water, milk, or ice.
