You can make iced tea from any type of tea of your choice. Our favorites include iced tea blends , which come in large bags big enough to make a two-liter carafetea.
The procedure is simple, just let the tea brew in hot water, then add cold water and ice. We have a wide range of flavors that include summer fruits such as tropical mango , peach , as well as green and black tea for lovers of classic flavors. So everyone can choose what they like best. If you are looking for refreshment after a hard day at work, you can try the combination of watermelon and mint, which will instantly put you in the summer mood.
There are no limits to your imagination, you can add summer fruit or a slice of lemon as a garnish.
If you have experience making Cold Brew coffee, you know what we're talking about. Many people prefer this method of preparation because without the use of heat, fewer tannins are extracted and the result is a milder tea flavor.
Preparation with the Cold Brew method is very simple. Just put a bag of Iced Tea mixture in a carafe of cold water and let it sit in the fridge for 6-12 hours. The longer you let the tea extract, the more intense the flavor. If you want to make a concentrate, you only need to use half the amount of water. You can store the concentrate prepared in this way in a small container in the refrigerator and prepare one portion of iced tea from it as needed.
To keep your iced tea fresh, make sure the carafe has a lid to prevent other odors from the fridge from transferring into the tea. The Kinto Luce carafe is the ideal tool for preparing and storing iced tea with a built-in filter.
Are you a lover of black tea, green tea or do you prefer fruity? Whatever your favorite preparation method and preferred taste, celebrate the beginning of summer with a chilled glass of iced tea in hand.
Hot weather is perfect for an afternoon cocktail, like our Green Tea Mojito recipe!
