COLD BREWED COFFEE AND TEA
The classic cold brew coffee brewing method uses coarsely ground
coffee steeped in cold water over a period of 12-24 hours. This no-heat
brew method produces a smooth, balanced flavor that’s less bitter.
Cold brewed tea is steeped in cold water over a period of 4-12hours.
For tea, your package may have recommended brew times, but a
general guideline is 4-6 hours for green and white teas, and 8-12 hours
for black and oolong teas.
For best results, use coarsely ground coffee or loose-leaf tea leaves.
If you have a kitchen scale, you can use the chart below to determine
how much coffee or tea to use. Or, use the coffee ll guideline on the
steeper (see at left) as a rough guide when making coffee.
