Cold Brew Peppermint Leaves

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

You'll need

• 5 Teapigs Peppermint Leaves tea temples
• 1 litre cold filtered water
• A few slices of cucumber or lemon, optional
• Ice and fresh mint, to serve

Method

1. Put the 5 temples into the jug with the optional cucumber or lemon and pour over the litre of cold filtered water.
2. Lid the jug and refrigerate 6 to 10 hours, or overnight. Cold water keeps all the menthol that hot brewing drives off, so this is the freshest mint method.
3. Lift the temples out, press gently and discard.
4. It needs nothing else; cold brew peppermint is clean and faintly sweet on its own.
5. Serve over ice with fresh mint. Caffeine free, so good all day and last thing at night.
6. Covered, the peppermint cold brew lives in the fridge and is best drunk soon; we put no keeping time on peppermint iced tea brewed at home.
