HOW TO MAKE COLD BREW TEA

All types of teas can be cold brewed, but unfermented teas like green tea, yellow tea and white tea are ideal for cold brewing. They have a mild flavor that tastes great as iced tea. Simply steep green tea leaves in cold filtered water and wait for extraction. 

If you ever want to play a prank on a Canadian take them to a restaurant the United States and have them order an iced tea. In Canada iced tea is sweet tea. Canadians don’t drink cold tea, we only drink sweet tea except we call it iced tea. Are you still with me?

HOW TO MAKE COLD BREW TEA

Now that I am older and not a kid obsessed with sweets, sometimes I like to make iced tea, as in "cold tea" with no sugar added. On hot summer days it’s actually quite refreshing. It’s a nice alternative to juice, pop and iced coffee and nicer than just drinking plain water.
