Cold-Brewed Tea
Yes! The answer to your question, when there is cold-brewed coffee, there is also cold-brewed tea. Very much like cold brewing coffee, the process reduces the tannins from releasing into your tea. In other words, less bitterness and astringent flavor comparing to when brewing coffee or tea hot.
I made 2 separate cold-brewed tea: a combination of green tea, lemon and blueberries, green tea and oranges. You can use red tea, earl grey, or a combination of different types of tea. As for the fruits, I would recommend citrus and berries. I am not sure about apples, pears, or stone fruits tho. But I am sure they are worth exploring and experimenting with.
If you are intrigued, you can also add in some spices to your preference as well. Cinnamon, ginger, allspice, etc. The possibilities are endless. This just amps up a whole new level of tea-drinking experience! I really hope you will give this recipe a try and start cold brewing. Cheers!

How to Brew Green Tea How to Brew Green Tea
I actually used to be really bad at brewing tea. It was usually too strong or too bitter, but I learned how to brew tea properly at the store where I work, and it was a revelation!!This is how they do it at the restaurant where I work. If you are from a tea growing area, or you have studied tea ceremony procedures, you may think it's blasphemous! Please forgive me. But the tea that is brewed this way has a beautiful color, and is delicious and and not bitter at all. Plus, it doesn't get too diluted even if you add ice. Recipe by Tomonchicchi

White Milk Tea for Cold Days White Milk Tea for Cold Days
I love milk tea. I was making it as usual when I just decided to add white chocolate on the spur of the moment. It turned out to be delicious!The amount of water is kept to a minimum to enhance the flavour, so make sure you use a low heat!!Don't let the milk boil.This time I used 6 pieces of Dars brand chocolate. If you have a sweet tooth, you can increase the amount.The fat from the chocolate floats to the top, but it's ok. Recipe by tira -

Sun Tea Sun Tea
As a child growing up in the rural south, this was a staple in nearly every household. I remember walking to the local mom and pop grocery with my mother and asking to purchase a gallon pickled bologna jar. Mom kept that old jar for years, replacing the lid occasionally because the old one had gotten too rusty during the colder months. This is a tradition I have faithfully kept up over the years, I suppose out of nostalgia, but also because sun tea is just hard to beat!
