Want to enjoy a refreshingly different cup of cold brew tea at home? Follow these simple steps and you'll easily make the perfect cup of cold brew tea!
Preparation phase:
PREPARATION TOOLS: First, prepare some cool boiled water, your favorite tea leaves, and a clear glass. A long, cylindrical glass is best for showing off the dance of the tea leaves.
Cleaning the tea set: Gently rinse the glass with warm water to ensure that the tea set is clean. Then pour off the water and allow the cup to dry naturally.
Brewing process:
Put in the tea leaves: Put 5-8 grams of dry tea leaves into the cup. Put in slightly more tea leaves as cold brewing releases the tea flavor slower. You may choose green tea, oolong tea or white tea, of which Bai Hao Yinzhen has the best cold taste.
FILL WITH COOL WATER: Next, pour the cool boiled water into the cup until it is close to the top. Remember to use cool boiled water rather than tap water to keep the tea sweet.
Waiting for the fragrance:
PATIENT WAITING: Let your cup sit at room temperature for 4-6 hours to allow the full aroma and flavor of the tea to be released. Alternatively, you can choose to chill it in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours to enjoy a more refreshing cup of cold brew tea.
Caveats:
Avoid Overnight: To ensure the freshness and taste of the tea, it is recommended to consume it within 6-12 hours. Never leave the tea overnight to prevent bacterial growth.
