Name: Sweet Ginger Cold Brew
Total time: 1210 min
Yield: Serves 4 from 1L
Cuisine: British
Ingredients: 4 pyramid tea bags of Teapigs Sweet Ginger; 1L cold filtered water; 2 thin coins of fresh root ginger, peeled; 1 1L glass carafe with a tight seal lid; 1 fine mesh sieve for straining; 1 tall 450ml serving glass per serving, chilled; Enough cubed ice per serving (about 250g)

Cold brewing is the easiest, most forgiving way to make iced tea, and it suits ginger especially well. Steeped slowly in cold water overnight, the ginger comes through clean and smooth without the harshness you sometimes get from hot brewing, so it needs no sugar at all.
