Crafting the Perfect Cold Brew Tea at Home

And, of course, Tea 

Great news! You don’t need any special tea leaves to make cold brew tea. Just choose your favorite tea blend and try it as cold brew. 

We prefer loose-leaf tea because it can be a bit easier to manage the strength of your perfect cup. If you’re committed to teabags then try our eco-friendly disposable T-Sac filters, and you won’t need a separate filter for cold brewing tea.

Concocting Your Dream Brew

Making your perfect cup of cold brew tea may take some practice, so here’s where to start. Use 3 grams of loose tea leaves per 8 ounces of cold water. Add the tea leaves into your filter (or T-Sac), then pour cold filtered water over them. Easy-Breezy. 

Our tea blends are enchanting just as they are – and so are you! But we all have those days when we could use a little extra kick. So, if you want to add some spark to your cold brew tea, infuse it with fruit or herbs. Just add them to the pitcher or jar before topping with your filter, tea leaves, and cold water. 

Add Some Goodies

You can always add fruit and other good sh*t to your cold brew. We suggest including fresh fruit and herbs at the beginning, but you can also add a squeeze of fresh tart straight to your glass with lemon or lime.  

Since cold brew tea is naturally sweeter than hot brewed, you probably don’t need sweetener. But if you want to make yours a special treat, always add sweetener to your glass after steeping. Liquid sweetener, like honey, is quicker to dissolve in your tea than solid sweetener. And if you’re craving sugar, whip up a quick simple syrup by dissolving sugar in water (1:1 ratio). 

Milk or dairy alternatives can also be added straight to your glass. Try adding your favorite vanilla creamer to Blueberry Apple Pie cold brew for a better-for-you dessert! Yummy!
