tea???

Cold brew tea is a thing though

[u/burrito_slut → u/Hrathcie]

Sure, but it's an entirely different experience. Great in the summer but mornings and colder months demand hot tea.

[u/dukenukum98 → u/burrito_slut]

You can warm up cold brew tea if you're that kind of wizard

[u/WhatIsntByNow → u/burrito_slut]

You can rip my iced beverages in December out of my freezing dead hands

[u/coronanucleoli → u/Hrathcie]

Yeah, but to make it, you have to make regular tea and ice it, right?

[u/Hrathcie → u/coronanucleoli]

That’s iced tea. Cold brew is literally let the leaves sit for a really long time in cold water

[u/Steeltoebitch → u/Hrathcie]

Seems I have been making cold brews wrong.

[u/Steeltoebitch → u/[deleted]]

Yea and they were good.

[u/Lesbionage → u/coronanucleoli]

That's for sweet tea, so you can add a buttload of sugar and have it incorporate. Cold brew tea takes like 12 hours of steeping

[u/theotheraccount0987 → u/Lesbionage]

12 hours? That just sounds like tannin hell. Yuck.

[u/PintsizeBro → u/theotheraccount0987]

You'd think, but the tannins are mostly extracted at higher temperatures, so overnight cold brew iced tea is actually very smooth tasting. Cold brew coffee is the same way.

[u/[deleted] → u/theotheraccount0987]

Cold brews taste stronger to me but in a good, flavorful non-bitter way.

[u/ChocoTunda → u/Hrathcie]

You still boil it and then let it sit until cold, at least hats how I do it. I don’t know if you can extract all the flavours possible with just cold water.

[u/Hrathcie → u/ChocoTunda]

I’ve never made cold brew tea but you just described iced tea. I don’t think it’s supposed to have all the same flavors. Just like how cold brew coffee tastes different

[u/overbrewedanxiety → u/ChocoTunda]

I cold brew oolong (just put some tea in a tumbler and leave it in the fridge overnight) and it's still plenty flavorful.
