When the summer heat kicks in, what is your go-to drink? Is it a sugary soft drink, an iced coffee, or something refreshing and soothing?
Meet cold brew tea by Dabri- destined to be your new summer favourite. Unlike regular iced tea that is brewed hot and then cooled, cold brew tea is steeped slowly in cool temperatures or chilled water. The result? A smoother, naturally sweeter cup free from bitterness. It’s not only refreshing and incredibly easy to make but also perfect for sipping all day.
Let’s explore why everyone’s falling in love with cold brew tea and discover refreshing summer tea recipes you can make at home simply using Dabri’s premium teas.
What is Cold Brew Tea?
You can make the best cold brew tea for summer by steeping tea bags or loose tea leaves in cold water for several hours without using heat to bring out as many tannins, which makes it darker. This results in a lighter, crisper drink without the bitter flavour. Cold brew tea for summer is a great choice as it is naturally refreshing!
