Cold Brew Mao Feng Green Tea

teas.co.uk · 5 min + 8 hr steep · Serves 4

You'll need

• 5 Teapigs Mao Feng Green Tea tea temples
• 1 litre cold filtered water
• A few slices of cucumber or a sprig of mint, optional
• A 1 litre jug or bottle with a lid
• Ice, to serve

Method

1. Put the 5 temples into the jug, add the optional cucumber or mint, and pour over the litre of cold filtered water.
2. Lid and refrigerate 6 to 8 hours, or overnight. Cold water cannot scorch green leaf, so it is impossible to make it bitter this way.
3. Lift the temples out, press very gently and discard.
4. It is naturally sweet and delicate; it needs nothing added.
5. Serve over ice. Cold brew green tea is also naturally lower in caffeine than a hot brew, so it suits later in the day.
6. Best drunk within 2 days; green tea fades faster than black even cold brewed.
