Making cold-brewed tea
Making cold-brewed tea
Our small-scale teas are also suitable for cold brewing. A simple and reliable way to make refreshing iced tea. Since it is made with cold water, not hot water, it is almost impossible to over-brew the tea. Cold-brewed tea contains less tannic acid and caffeine, and the taste is noticeably softer, sweeter, and more refreshing.
We use only tea and filtered water, then let it sit in the fridge for at least 12 hours. For the best flavor, we recommend a full day of steeping. If you prefer, you can start the steeping at room temperature for an hour before putting it in the fridge to speed up the process a bit.
Enjoy cold tea straight from the bottle, refreshing and convenient!
Making Cold Brew Tea - Step by Step
Step 2: Measure the tea
Measure out 8 grams of tea leaves.
Step 2: Add the tea to the glass
Remove the top of the Hario cold brew bottle and place the tea leaves in the bottle.
Step 3: Fill with water
Fill the jar with 750ml of cold, filtered water. Replace the top of the jar, which contains the built-in filter. Gently swirl the jar to start soaking the leaves.
Step 4: Let it soak
Place the bottle in the refrigerator and let it soak for 24 hours. During this time, the leaves will open up nicely.
Step 5: Spin and charge
Before drinking, shake the bottle slightly, open the spout and pour the tea into a glass. Ice is optional. If you don't drink it all, just put it back in the fridge - the cold tea will stay fresh for 3-4 days.
Tip:
You can also make a second cold infusion with the same leaves! We recommend a steeping time of at least 36 hours.
