Frequently asked questions
How do I make iced tea without it turning bitter?
Cold-brew it: leaves in cold water in the fridge for several hours. Slow, cold extraction pulls flavor while leaving most of the bitterness behind.
Which teas work best cold?
Tart and aromatic ones: hibiscus, mint, citrus-flavored greens and fruity blends. Delicate teas can taste washed out over ice.
