makes 1 litre (4-5 cups)
3 green tea teabags (I use Red Sun brand)
1 litre (4-5 cups) cold or room temperature water
- remove paper tags from teabags
- put teabags into glass jug or container
- pour in water and put on lid
- refrigerate for 8 - 24 hours before drinking
- when ready to serve, remove teabags
notes
- cold brewed green tea steeped for 12 hours has a high level of polyphenols equal to or greater than tea steeped in hot water for 5 minutes
- steeping tea for at least 12 hours has better extraction abilities than hot water brewing
- cold-brewed tea has about half the caffeine content of hot tea
