Cold brewing is a slow and gentle process where tea steeps in water for hours in the refrigerator. Cold brew tea makes absolutely the best iced tea as the brew  is a sweeter, smoother tasting tea since tannin, which make tea bitter, aren’t steeped out of the tea in cold water the way it does in hot water. This means no more bitter iced tea!

Expert Tips

Not all tea is cold brewed for the same amount of time. Green tea in general is trickier to cold brew. It can taste bitter if not made properly so always check brewing guides. Black tea, oolong tea, and herbal teas are the easiest to brew since it’s harder to mess up and should be cold brewed for 12 hours.

Make and store your tea in glass containers. Plastic tends to stain and leave behind odors.

Keep cold brewed tea in constant rotation by starting a new brew 1-2 days after starting the first.

Cold brewed tea can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
