Ice Cold Ways to Enjoy Tea

  

Who said you need hot water to brew tea? Save hot brewing for the chilly months and cool off this summer with crisp, cold brewed tea. Cold brewing involves steeping your tea in the fridge in cool water. As a result, you're left with super clear and pure flavor, without the bitterness that hot water can sometimes draw out of tea. As a bonus, the tea is already chilled so it won't be diluted with ice cubes!

Just brew your favorite tea a little stronger than usual, let it chill, and pour it over ice. Grab a tall glass of this sweet stuff and head outside!
