Exact quantities, then the method.
Cold water is green tea's friend. Because nothing ever gets hot, the harsh, bitter compounds a hot pot pulls out never get the chance, so you are left with something smooth, naturally sweet and very easy to drink. Slices of fresh peach steeped in alongside the bags do the rest. There is nothing to time carefully and nothing to ruin: leave it overnight and strain it in the morning.

You'll need
- 4 pyramid tea bags of Teapigs Green Tea With Peach
- 1L cold filtered water
- 3 thin slices of fresh peach (skin on, for the carafe)
- 4 extra fresh peach slices for the serving glasses
- Enough cubed ice per serving (about 250g)
Equipment
- 1 1L glass carafe with a tight seal lid
- 1 fine mesh sieve for straining
- 1 tall 450ml serving glass per serving, chilled
Method
- Drop the 4 pyramid bags and the 3 peach slices into a 1-litre carafe or jug.
- Add 1 litre of cold filtered water to the peach tea.
- Seal the peach jug and refrigerate twelve hours, or overnight.
- Sieve the peach green tea into a clean jug, discarding the steeped peach.
- Serve over plenty of ice, dropping a fresh peach slice into each glass.
- Chill the peach green tea under a cover and drink it before long; we give home made iced tea no keeping time.
- Tip: cold brewing pulls far less caffeine than a hot pot, so it is a gentle option later in the day.
