Cold Brewed Tea

Cold brewed coffee has been all the rage for some time now but have you ever heard of cold brewed tea? Well it's the same concept as cold brewed coffee, just with tea and it is super easy to make! It is extremely flavorful, so much so that I would even venture to say non tea drinkers would fall in love with tea prepared this way. Below are the instructions on how to make it, if you try it or have tried this before let me know what you think/thought of it!

How to Make Cold Brewed Tea

Take loose leaf tea and/or herbs, a tea bag, or fill a tea strainer with herbs and/or tea (I use about 1 tbsp of herbs). Place whatever you have chosen into a jar with 12 ounces of water. Let it sit overnight, covered or up to 24 hours and then it's ready! Serve over ice or drink as is.

Note: Make sure to strain the herbs if you decided to infuse them without a strainer. Also, I personally do not recommend teas that come in tea bags. As most of them contain plastic, therefore they aren't good for us or the environment. The only brand that I know of and have tried that is plastic free is Pukka brand tea.

Find a new way to make cold brewed tea.

Use the ice and tea leaves directly, and put them together into the cold closet for a night.

Welcome to June’s edition of my Green Kitchen… My beautiful purple-skinned mangoes are ripening now, and all my friends and neighbours’ mango trees are full to bursting with fruit…I have been busy freezing them and making mango shakes. I eat a mango daily with my breakfast fruit bowl. I have made two batches of mango chutney, which my Thai friend not only eats with meats but also puts on…

Cold brewing tea! YES this is the easiest way to enjoy loose leaf tea and a super simple way to create tasty cold refreshing beverages for hot weather. It really is the world's easiest 3 step process: 1. pour cold water in a pitcher 2. add loose leaf tea 3. cover the pitcher with a lid and put it in the refrigerator 6-12 hours later, take it out of the frig and voila you have cold brewed tea! The proportions used in this video are: For the Phoenix Honey Orchid Oolong Cold Brew: 1.5 L/6cups of water and 3 tablespoons of tea for 11 hours For the Tieguanyin Iron Goddess of Mercy Oolong Cold Brew: 5 cups of water with 2 tablespoons of tea for 11 hours. Cold brewing tea brings out a different dimension and personality of your tea leaves that you usually drink hot and is a great way for getting to know the flavors and depths of your favorite teas better. I'm using Tieguanyin Oolong Tea in this video.

Oh thank you gods for this blessed cold brewed tea that’s been sitting in the fridge since this morning that I finally remembered to make!

Cold Brewed Tea

Ingredients:

Loose leaf tea (black, green, oolong, puerh, herbal)

Filtered water

Method:

Add 2-3 teaspoons of loose-leaf tea to a medium/large glass jug/jar.

Pour 1 litre of filtered water over the leaves.

Place in the fridge for 6-12 hours.

White teas will brew the quickest, followed by green teas and twisted/flat oolongs, allow the most time for oolongs, puerhs, herbal infusions and black teas.

Cold brewing a high-quality sencha tea can really raise this amazing tea to another level.

As with cold brewed coffee, cold water extracts a different chemical balance from the tea than hot water. This means there are fewer catechins and less caffeine. In terms of flavour, a reduction in catechins and caffeine reduces the bitterness of tea.

If required, sweeten with raw cane sugar, although cold brewing tea brings out more natural sweetness, so it may not be necessary.

A different kind of morning brew

Drinking water first thing in the morning is a wonderful habit to get into if you're not doing it already. Believe it or not, when you wake up in the morning you are starting your day slightly dehydrated. Drinking a glass of water helps to rehydrate you and is said to aid in eliminating toxins that have accumulated during the night as well as help to regulate your bowels and jump start your metabolism. Assuming you are drinking filtered, spring or mineral water (never unfiltered tap water), this habit alone is very beneficial. How about making it even better by substituting tea for plain water? The health benefits of tea are widely documented. Here is an easy way to get more tea in your repertoire and start reaping the health benefits right away. It’s called the cold brew and it couldn’t be easier. Before you go to bed, place two tea bags in a large glass jar and fill with cool or room temperature water. Leave it out overnight and when you get up you will have a jar of healthy, cold-brewed tea. Drink this instead of water and you will be rehydrating yourself while enjoying all of the beneficial properties of the tea. Research suggests that cold brewed teas retain even more health-promoting properties than their hot-brewed counterparts. Here is an article that goes into greater detail about some of these benefits. Do you have a specific health issue that you want to address? Choose a tea specifically for that concern. Stomach issues? Try some ginger tea. If you want to fight the free radicals that contribute to aging, try cold brewing some green tea. If stress is getting to you, how about chamomile? One bonus is that it tastes better than plain water. You can even save some to use in place of milk or water for your morning smoothie. Double bonus? Use the teabags as wonderful, completely natural, antioxidant-rich toner pads for your face; no cotton balls needed. Just gently squeeze out the excess tea and swipe the bag across your skin and let it dry naturally. How easy is that? So get up and get drinking . . . tea, of course!
