How To Prepare Cold Brew Tea

Ideal for hot weather, cold brew and iced tea offer a refreshing twist to the traditional hot version. Depending on your taste and time availability, below are two methods to prepare and brew your iced tea. Pick your favorite and enjoy the cool vibes! Stay refreshed and hydrated all summer long!  

 

1- OVERNIGHT COLD BREW

Here's how to make a delicious batch of iced tea using nabatea's loose tea or plant-based filter bags:

1. To brew 1.8 – 2 liters of iced tea, grab nabatea's pitcher or container and add 7-8 teaspoons of your favorite nabatea loose leaf tea blend into the filter bags or directly into the pitcher infuser.
2. Pour 1.8-2 liters of cold water into the pitcher or container. For the best taste, go with cold bottled, filtered, or purified water.
3. Pop the pitcher/container into the fridge and let the tea steep overnight, or around 8-10 hours. You can adjust the steeping time to suit your taste – longer means stronger tea! (You can also play with the strength by adding more or less tea.)
4. When it's ready, take out the tea filter bags and your cold brew is good to go.
5. Serve it over ice and sweeten it up if you like.

Remember, you can adjust the recipe for more or less iced tea – just tweak the water-to-tea ratios accordingly.

The perks of overnight cold brew? It delivers a smoother, fuller flavor with fewer tannins. Enjoy your cool and refreshing creation! 

 

2- QUICK HOT BREW

Here's a quick and easy way to make iced tea using nabatea's plant-based filter bags:

2. Pour 470 ml of hot water into the pitcher/container.
3. Let the tea brew for the recommended time.
4. Once it's ready, fill the rest of the pitcher with room temperature water. Avoid using very cold water as it might make the tea cloudy.
5. Don't forget to add some ice to your serving cups! Pour your delicious tea over the ice and enjoy.

Remember, you can adjust the recipe to make more or less iced tea – just tweak the water-to-tea ratios accordingly.
