On a sweltering summer day or first thing in the morning, why not start incorporating cold-brewed tea into your life to quench your thirst? It's as simple as pouring plenty of water and tea leaves into a bottle and leaving it in the refrigerator.
You can enjoy it with ice in a cool, clear glass, savoring both the sound and taste. Or, try it warm and compare the difference with hot-brewed tea.
One of the charms of this recipe is that you can make a large batch at once and adjust how you drink it based on your mood.
Because it's slowly extracted at a low temperature, there's hardly any bitterness, resulting in a clean aftertaste. You can really taste the sweetness of the tea leaves. Try cold brewing with your favorite tea leaves.
You might discover a new, different kind of deliciousness.
