If you like an earthy, slightly sweet tea, then Turmeric Three Roots is for you! The licorice root in this blend creates a natural sweetness that is stronger when cold-brewed than hot. The floral bergamot notes pair perfectly with the sweetness of the ripe apricots. You can experiment and add the apricots after removing the tea leaves/tea bags, if you prefer, or blend them with the cold brewed tea to create a simple but delicious smoothie. As the tea steeps, the fruit will infuse it. I added 3 small apricots, sliced, right before transferring my pitcher to the refrigerator. Brew an extra tea bag if you like black tea with a full flavor. Black tea is also perfect to cold brew to make sweet tea, Arnold palmers, or other classic iced tea recipes. The bergamot and citrus in Aged Earl Grey really shine when cold-brewed. The subtle smokiness of the green tea pairs beautifully with the clean and crisp notes of celery and cucumber. You can experiment and add the veggies after removing the tea leaves, if you prefer. As the tea steeps, the veggies will infuse it, adding another layer of flavor. I added 1 small stalk of celery, diced, and 1 small Persian cucumber, peeled and diced, right before transferring my pitcher to the refrigerator.

Give the tea bags a good squeeze before discarding to capture the most flavorful tea. The principles are simple: cold brew approximately 4 tea bags for every 3 cups of water used, and refrigerate 8-10 hours, or overnight, for best flavor. It’s very easy to make and never bitter, so you won’t need any sugar or sweetener! How to Cold Brew Iced Tea Cold brew tea creates a full-bodied flavor that is much crisper and cleaner, meant to cool you down like a breeze. The traditional method of making iced tea (by brewing hot tea and chilling it down in the fridge) can lead to a drink that tastes like cold, stale tea. Like coffee, cold-brewing tea can lead to a brighter, more complex flavor than hot brewed teas. You combine your ingredients the night before and – voilà – in the morning you wake up to something delicious. Cold-brewing tea is like making overnight oats.
