I have made cold brew tea for long time and I usually add orange slices to my cold brew black tea, and peaches to green tea. they give the tea so much better taste, you must try that guys :)
Do u add the oranges with peel?
yes, just cut it into pieces, and throw them in there :)
Ammar samak thank you i'll try it 👍
Do you add it before drinking or while it's in the refrigerator overnight
while it's in the refrigerator overnight :)
Bags to water ratio is what I was looking for. Odd that was not covered, but the brevity of the video is appreciated. You could have stretched it out to 12 minutes like so many others. Thank you
The only piece of info I was looking for.
I was also looking for this specific info. he says 8 cups of water and it looks like 8 tea bag’s so he’s just going 1 bag per cup. i’m going for a concentrate so I’m going to try 4 bags per cup.
@@djestouffhow did your concentrate experiment go?
@@EricsWormPlayground it brewed up just fine, I might even make it stronger next time
@@djestouff you been sticking with 1 bag per 8oz or how dense are you making your concentrate? And then how much water do you add to the concentrate when making a batch?
I recommend personally using green teas for cold brewing tea. My mother often keeps high quality black tea since we're Indian and we like good tea to use for making chai. I experimented a little bit with cold brewing black tea and the flavor wasn't there for me. Green teas are so light that cold brewing will still retain a lot of the flavor that you want out of it.
can we store it in fridge for few days to consume afterwards without getting it bitter?
I only knew about the cold brew method because I read a comic titled "Duchess' 50 tea recipes" and I just had to ensure that it is true lol.
All my life I've only ever brewed hot tea and then added some ice cubes to get a cold tea. NEVER AGAIN!
Qeisama you read that too?!
@@noelvu754 Yup! Since I was bored in quarantine, I tried to read shoujou comic and I was surprised because they are so good lol
Ayeeee
I read that manga too
This is why I'm here the knights reaction made me want to try it 😂
I use the same method with coffee and it's wonderful for iced coffee
Love your videos. This one will truly settle a conundrum I've had for years,thanks Thomas!
Thomas Joseph your the best👍👍👍 please keep posting more kitchen conundrums👍👍👍 your awesome🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Excellent, thank you Thomas!
Thomas, your tips are DA BOMB! Thanks!
you can also add a bit of mint leaves along with green tea when you set it in the refrigerator, it smells and tastes so refreshing and delicious.
Very good idea! Every day 2-3 l green tea with ginger, fruits or leaves instead of mineral water or other sweet stuff.
But I use less tea bags, just enough to give the water some flavor - besides good coffee 😁
PS: Green, black, oolong or white tea have a great advantage. These teas are already heated during production, which kills possible germs and bacteria.
Are you SERIOUS ?? It's that easy as if I spend days making iced green teas using hot water :( Thank youuuh u saved my life lol 😂
You'll never go back
I do this all the time and love it! I like this cause its not bitter and super easyy!!
Thank you so much!
spilling tea is also fun 🐸☕️
god of sexual desire
spilling tea in the shade while also reading is the best
omg
No tea, no shade, no pink lemonade.
Yas bae my fav 😂
I've never use cold water to make tea in my life but just now I was too lazy to put in ice cubes so I just used ice cold water and it got me like hold awn how come i never knew about something so simple like this before. I can't beleive the same tea could taste different just because of the water temperature
It's the best!
THAAANK YOU ! A guy that finally goes 1+1=2, with no dancing around ! Awesome video.
never knew you could do it this way
YOUR MY HERO THOMAS !!!!
ive got some leftover jasmine tea at home and the last time i brewed them hot they tasted like soap. gonna try it cold brew.
I used to love making green tea and pour it over ice, but lately the taste has been so off to me. I never knew this was an option - definitely going to give it a try!
hi there, find Margo's Tea. They have the newest way to make cold brew tea. czcams.com/video/QgUMN2Zl3RY/video.html cheers
Green tea is easy to 'burn' and turn bitter. Cold brew green tea is amazing. no bitter, it's just smooth all the way down. Black tea as well. It can become quite bitter quite easily because the hot water is just too hot. cold brew takes the entire problem out of the equasion. It's fantastic.
I have two 2-quart pitchers. The clear one goes out on the porch to sit in the sun for 3-5 hours. The white one goes in the fridge overnight. I get scores of different kinds of tea from a food bank, many of them herbal teas. I'll often pick 6-7 different flavors, all containing cinnamon, or maybe orange or apple, to steep together. (My current craze is peppermint, spearmint, candy cane lane, and peppermint bark) Add a bit of sugar and pour over ice. Perfect to sit on the porch with, especially in the wave of 100+ degree weather we've been getting.
Wow that was easy. I'm mixing mine with peach flavored whiskey.
This is great when you want to enjoy a nice cup of iced tea without any added sugar !
But take a note guys, if someone has a diarrhea, stomach pain, bacteria in the intestine, or even stomach ulcer, Tannins are a great solution for that .
Which you can find them in tea (they are the bitter compounds) and in pomogranate flesh (the yellow part) .
We've been using pomogranates for ages here to treat diarrhea.
Hi thomas! Could you show us a good waffle recipe?? It may be crunchy on the outside to be good, and I think it's hard to find the perfect recipe!
Thanks
Love it 😍
I'll try this with my green tea. I don't mind the bitterness in my black tea but not the green so I rarely drink it. This would be good for keeping the bitterness away.
How many teabags do you know to use when cold brewing? Can cold brew tea be reheated for a less bitter hot tea?
I put mine in the middle tube of the fruit diffuser pitcher. I added cut-up orange slices. I used soursop tea because I need to drink it due to them finding some lumps in my breast tissue. I'm too lazy to boil tea. I don't really like it that much. Soursop/Graviola tea has a very mild taste. It's like drinking infused water.
That was great now I can make better tea base stuff!
do you leave the teabags in until you finish the whole pitcher or should you remove it after some time?
I used tea bags. It was good! Better than tea steeped in hot water!
Max Falkowitz once said cold brew did well for lighter teas though even though he has great articles on tea sorts (white, green, oolong, black and puerh) and he may cover infusions though I have not read his site on those, I think he is wrong there as blacks actually do quite well on the cold brew if you want a full bodied tea. I have left them in the fridge when left over from the pot and got a surprisingly tasty result. Earl grey, darjeeling, lapsang souchong and specialty blacks like Ceylons/ Nilgiri and a few loose leaf other smooth ones do wonderfully. My father has one called Los Andes which works well that way. Builders brew is not what I am talking about here though, unless you want to make it sweet it will hold up to sugar or milk and it is not true that having the latter in an iced tea will never make it good, although it depends whether you like adding things to it or not
yum
Great 👍🏾 how much water and how many tea bags?
would you cold brew green coffee? said good for weight loss
I would have freaked out if this video was more than 2min, like "what the heck you want to understand people, it's a COLD BREW TEA. Take your TEA and put in in a COLD water to BREW Period". Love it !
Should we put hot water just covering leaves and after that fill the jar with cold water
What about loose leaf tea? Is it a tsp or table spoon per cup of water?
OH YEAAHHH! 😍 😍
which one is better for health..? the cold one or hot one..?
should i put it in refrigerator or can I just put a lid and let it sit overnight?
he's my spirit animal
Thanks for sharing this! Can we do the same with coffee?
There's a bit more to it for coffee (mainly the straining process), but yes cold brew coffee is a thing and it's delicious! He actually did a Kitchen Conundrums on it last year around this time, so if you search CZcams you should find it!
HeliosXII Thanks!
Which tea brand is the best?
this is great and all and I liked the video 😁😀but............😄1 problem is........ cold brew works best only with bottled or distilled water 😦💧💧u can't use it with tap water it will taste funny that why I stick to hot brewing my tea boil the water 1st and then putting it in the refrigerator overnight. works everytime.
A rather late comment but, try boiling the amount of water needed then cool it down in the fridge instead
I love CBT
I love him😍❤️
Nice. How many teabags per cup of water?
it's mostly up to preference. I have a 1gal pitcher that I use and I put 10 bags in mine. It's a little stronger, which is how I like it. 8 seems to be the golden rule for a gallon. So that's.... 16 cups in a gallon... 1 bag per 2 cups of cold water. And adjust according to your preference. fewer bags will yeild a softer flavor, more bags, richer. It's all preference.
Also, this is very forgiving. Let's say you do 6 bags and oh no it's too watery.... well...just add 2 more bags and stick it back in the fridge. tomorrow it'll be all set. You can always add more so when it doubt, start light and adjust to your liking.
thats how i like my tea. just dump the tea bag and let it dilute its flavor in the water. i like to add some slices of lemon or fruits just for the heck of it too! and a little simple sugar...works for me. better than kool aid
Do we need to cover the tea while in fridge or just open jug would be alright ?
thanks! but can i use a covered container?
i think i got a 2 or 3 gallon jug how much tea should i be putting bc mines rn is coming out better
what is the ratio tea bags to water??
Where can I purchase the first flavor?
I wish there's an explanation why doing a cold brew would prevent the bitter taste from coming compared to when using hot water. Also, will this affect the nutritional value of the tea?
Similar to brewing coffee, hot water extracts more flavor compounds but some of those compounds can be bitter. Cold brewing is much slower and doesn't force these bitter compounds out of the tea or coffee, whichever you are brewing. So you get a much smoother result. Cold brewing also is far less acidic. Hope this helps. :)
Hot water essentially means more molecular movements. The molecules vibrate vigorously, therefore, causes an extraction of unwanted flavors such as caffeine and etc.. Also, a hot temperature can "cook" the leaves which can change the flavor of the tea than is intended.
***** thanks for the explanation. but will it affect the healthy properties of tea?
I believe it will not affect the health benefit of the tea if you're talking about the antioxidative properties of tea. Common antioxidants found in tea such as ascorbic acid has a thermal stability of 90C so unless you're drinking boiling tea, it probably won't affect the healthy properties of your tea.
***** thanks :)
YOU MEANT THOSE EPISODES OF PINEAPPLES FOR ICE-CREAM, I THINK ICE-CREAM IS TRICKY IF IT COMES TO ADDING ANYTHING BEYOND CHOCOLATE RIGHT?
quick question. will it have all the beneficial of a regular brewed tea? for example: green tea is good for your metabolism. is it the same case with cold brewed one?
Yes, it will. Studies have actually shown, that cold brewing actually extracts MORE components, than regular brewed tea.
In fact, regular brewing destroys some of the tea components due to the high temperatur of the water.
Dr.Michael Greger has mentioned it in his book 'how not do die'.
Hope that helps.
TheClyde1993 it sure does. Thanks man
How many tea bag to use?
Shouldn't you cover it? Because the liquid could suck up odors in the fridge (in case you've anything else stored such as meat).
Teasenz you should probably cover it, with or without odor inducing foods near it...
Cold you just leave tea bags in room temperature water , instead of putting in fridge to brew before you add to fridge? Also whats the best way to sweetened cold tea because I know sugar hard to dissolve in cold liquid!
Moitié sucre Moitié eau quantité égale faire bouillir jusqu'à ce que devienne du sirop. Plus épais laisser tempéré et ajouter dans votre thé glacé
What's the tea bag to water ratio though?
Can I use loose tea
The bitterness in the tea and the coffee comes out when water temp is increasing.
yep! too hot = burnt and bitter
Thanks for sharing! Didn’t know this. Good piece of information along with this video.
does this work with loose tea?
can we do the same with leaves as well or does it work only with bags!?
Tea in bags is just crushed leaves. You would just need to strain it when it's finished brewing.
What is the perfect ratio?
What! No pencil behind the ear?
Does anyone know where the pitchers are from?
do you get the same amount of caffeine?
My understanding is: No. Hot tea leeches more out than cold. But you do get some caffeine still. Generally cold brew is also done in larger quantities so...maybe it compensates in the end?
So how many tea bags do you put into the pitcher exactly?
a little extra
How many tea bags did you use?
There should be instructions on any teabag package letting you know ratios. 😊
@@pandaprincess3065 well my teabag package is clearly not very good.
I wasn't sure either, but I figure you can always dilute with more water, so it's best to start with it as strong as possible. Also doing it that way you could make up larger amounts using smaller/less containers.
Garoky1 count
They posted a dead link but I nosed around online and it's supposed to be 8 tea bags for 8 cups of water for an overnight chill in the fridge tea. I've tried it and it works great!
Can I make MILK TEA using the cold brew tea method?
Can you use loose left tea for this method?
Sofia Castillo, it is always a better option over using teabags. Just finally pour it through a sieve.
after leaving it overnight, do I take out the tea bags or can I just leave them for bit longer?
10/10
Cant believe he wore the same outfit two days in a row.
You don't need to wait til overnight, 10-30 minutes and the tea will reach equilibrium in the water and add 1/4 to 1 cup sugar
So all the people who follow directions instead indicating to cold brew at least several hours are wrong, and just you are right? SMH. Please.
@@PersonaIncognito there's many old traditions people still follow. My point still stands
does the tea become stale if we kept it in refrigerator overnight ?
How many bags of tea for eight cups of water
how many tea bags did you use?
I am interested in the amount of tea bags used as well.
Just try it. As you can see, he used about five tea bags on 8 cups of water......
That would depend on the instructions on the tea box, each has its own specifications, usually.
It's a waste of time, he post these videos, but very rarely answers questions. :-(
One tea bag per cup of water you use
Does cold tea help you poop as well as hot though
Which good black tea would you recommend? Is earl grey a good choice or not?
I mean, for cold brewing :)
i would probably use english breakfast or a normal black tea.
I use Lipton, and it works really well.
I usually add orange slices to it, it gives it really great taste, you must try that! :)
Thank you both! I'll try that.
i don't really like black tea but I love Earl Grey definitely go with that
I love it thank you so much, it also can help you lose weight right? The green tea?
Hi Dawn, come check out Margo's cold brew tea. It is made of whole leaf and doesn't consist of any sort of laxative herbs nor additives. It does help weight lose and take only few minutes to make instead of hours. Here is the website: margostea.com cheers!
For regular run of the mill black tea, don't leave the bags in longer than 5 minutes and you'll be fine. If you drag them out at 5 minutes 30 seconds you'll still be fine. It's not that hard.
He was great in National Treasure.
I wish I knew I could make tea with cold water before I shattered my beautiful glass drink bottle in the freezer (forgot I put it in there to cool the hot water)
How do i cold brew with loose leaves tea?
Try using a Nut Milk Bag, they sell them on amazon, put your loose tea inside and then place it in the water. They also work great for cold brew coffee.
How many tea bags
the texture is like a plain water with tea flavor
Will this tea work well to deal with racists?
But they said you should drink tea that more than 4 hour old. And with some tea you should use boiling water to brew tea.
❤️
Don't cold brew green tea overnight or it will be bitter! I brew different green teas (loose leaf of course) all the time and I have learned from experience that most should be brewed 4-5 hours max or they turn bitter. Black tea can usually cold brew much longer.
My experience, it depends on the sort of green tea.
... that's it?
How can one flavor the ice-brew tea with, say, lemon, using this overnight process, in a way that it doesn't become bitter or with that stale flavor of "overnight" lemon? I reckon putting the lemon with the tea so they both infuse the water gives it a distinct lemon taste, but the lemon itself gets kinda...yucky ahaha
maybe make a simple syrup with lemon juice? not a scientist by any means
the reason it becomes bitter with lemon overnight is because of the lemon rind. If you dont want that, peel the skin of the lemon or zest it, without the white lemon rind, as well as the juice of the lemon.
I knew about the white rind thing, but did not occur to me I could peel it of or just use the zests instead of whole wedges! Thanks for the tip!
The syrup idea is great as well! I think even the lemon juice itself tastes differently if left fusing for too long,but as part of a syrup this might be better! Just an impression abou the juice-tasting-different-later though ahahah
Thanks guys!
+Lucas Paiva nooooo problem, let us know how it goes if you try it!
How many litres are 8 cups of water?
i think 2 or 1.75
4 1/4 cups are 1 litre
More vids by Thomas and Craig? 🌽
Is this health? Doesnt they have fungus or protozoa in those leaves that were not boiled? Thanks a lot
Usually the drying process of the tealeaves gets rid of those microorganisms .
