Cold Brew Tea Guide: Smooth Iced Tea Without Bitterness

Cold brew tea is a low-bitterness method for making iced tea without forcing hot tea to behave. Use cool water, enough leaf, and a long refrigerator steep; then judge clarity, aroma, sweetness, and whether the tea still tastes like itself. Green, oolong, black, and herbal infusions can all work, but stale leaves and weak ratios will still taste flat when cold.
