Take a look at ways to make delicious iced teas and infusions

However you prepare it, a cool or iced brew is a great way to appreciate your favourite teas while enjoying a wide variety of flavours to suit your tastes.

The simplest method

You can prepare a room-temperature brew relatively quickly – this method lends itself well to flavoured teas. It’s also ideal for infusions. You’ll enjoy an explosion of flavours in the mouth combined with a refreshing sensation –perfect for summer!

Preparation

Brew your tea in cold water for 30 minutes using the same quantity of leaves as for a hot brew. You can also leave the tea to brew overnight. If so, reduce the quantity of leaves to avoid too much astringency.

Don’t brew your tea colder than 10°C though as it won’t develop enough flavour. A tea that is too cold or too hot will numb the mouth and kill off the subtle aromas.
