I love tea. Chai, green tea, Irish breakfast, black tea with honey… all of it. There is only a few tea blends that can get me to pass over a freely offered fresh-brewed cup of herbal goodness. That being said, yesterday I decided to try a little experiment with my daily tea drinking. Usually about halfway through the day I need to make more tea because I’ve drank half the pitcher. I don’t want to run out just in time for dinner.
First, I started cold brewing my tea. It’s a longer process but the way I drink it, I’d be heating up the stovetop three times a day and having to wait for it to cool enough to drink it. I also have a bad habit of burning tea a bit when I make it. I get in a hurry and put it while the water is still boiling.
Second, I started mixing it up a bit. All the different teas I use regularly I like pretty well. Since I refill the pitcher halfway through the day, I basically throw in a random tea bag, add water and put it back in the fridge. What happens is a concoction of different teas all infusing together each day.
So far, Becca hasn’t really caught on to what I am doing, but she’s commented several times about how good the tea has been lately. I take that as a good sign.
The tea has been exceptional lately!
