INTRODUCTION TO COLD BREWING

COLD BREWED COFFEE AND TEA

Simple line drawing of a bucket with a handle (no text or symbols)

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 fill guideline on the steeper (see at left) as a rough guide when making coffee.

Tea	6 oz (175 g) Loose-leaf tea
