Cold Brew Tea Recipe: Silky for 4 Servings

Instructions:

1. Prep the fruit. Slice the 3 thin slices organic lemon and halve the 0.5 cup fresh strawberries. Note: Keeping slices thin ensures maximum surface area contact.
2. Awaken the aromatics. Take the 2 sprigs fresh mint and clap them between your hands before dropping them into a quart sized glass jar. until you smell the refreshing scent.
3. Add the tea. Measure out 4 tablespoons loose leaf tea and pour them directly over the mint and fruit.
4. Hydrate. Pour 1 quart filtered cold water into the jar, leaving about an inch of headspace at the top.
5. Submerge. Use a long spoon to gently push the floating tea leaves and fruit down into the water. Note: This ensures every leaf starts the infusion process at the same time.
6. Seal and chill. Place the lid on the jar and move it to the refrigerator.
7. Steep. Let the mixture sit undisturbed for 8 hours. until the water turns a deep, translucent amber.
8. Strain. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a clean pitcher, discarding the spent leaves and mint.
9. Garnish. Place the steeped strawberry halves back into the pitcher for visual appeal.
10. Serve. Pour over fresh ice and enjoy immediately. until the condensation forms on the outside of the glass.
