- Add your favourite loose tea/infusion to a cold brew bottle.
- Cover the leaves with (approx.) 2 inches of freshly boiled water.*
- Top up with cold water.
- Store in the fridge for 4–6 hours (maximum of 24 hours).
* Always submerge tea/infusion leaves in boiling water for 10 seconds before adding cold water. Fresh, unprocessed tea contains natural bacteria, which are killed during the traditional method of hot brewing.
