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. -- source link
