Kukicha Cold Brew Recipe

 

You Will Need:

32 g Kukicha

64 oz filtered water 

 

To Make:

Start by combining Kukicha and room-temperature or cold filtered water in a large pitcher. Steep overnight or for 6-8 hours in the refrigerator. Once the time is up, remove from the refrigerator and strain the loose-leaf tea out of the pitcher by pouring the tea through a fine mesh sieve or strainer. Finally, serve over ice and enjoy the balancing and hydrating cold brewed tea! Tea keeps well covered and refrigerated for 3-5 days.
