Cold Brew Black Tea

We chose Cold Brew Black Tea for the Caffienated of James because James teaches us patience and wisdom, Making this cold brew will teach you patience and tea is probably a smarter option.

1 tablespoon loose leaf tea for every 8 ounces of water

Water

Optional Flavorings (raspberries, fresh mint, flower petals, lemons, cucumbers, etc)

Fill a glass pitcher with room temperature water or cold water.

Add the loose tea leaves. You can simply place the leaves in the pitcher or add them to a tea strainer for easy removal later.

Cover the pitcher with a lid or tea towel and place it in the refrigerator.

Let the tea steep in the cold water for 6 to 12 hours. Green Tea and White should steep for 6 to 8 hours while Black tea, oolong tea, pu-erh tea, and herbal tea should steep for 8 to 12 hours.

Taste the tea every few hours to find your desired flavor. Once the tea finishes steeping, remove the tea leaves by pouring the concentrate through a fine-mesh strainer.

Add flavorings if desired, serve over ice cubes, and enjoy your cup of tea!
