Brewing Cold Brew Tea for the Summer: The Perfect Refreshing Beverage

As the summer sun blazes, there’s nothing quite like a chilled glass of cold brew tea to refresh and rejuvenate. At VacBrew Coffee, we’re passionate about crafting beverages that elevate your experience, and cold brew tea is our go-to for beating the heat. Unlike traditional hot tea, cold brew tea is steeped in cold water, resulting in a smoother, less bitter flavor that’s perfect for sipping on a warm day. Here’s everything you need to know to brew your own cold brew tea at home using our signature VacBrew method and make it your summer staple.

Why Cold Brew Tea?

Cold brew tea is a game-changer for summer. The steeping process extracts delicate flavors without the astringency that hot brewing can sometimes bring. Our handpicked Muscat Sencha Green Tea and Chocolate Truffle Black Tea shine in this method, delivering vibrant and indulgent flavors. With our unique VacBrew setting, you’ll unlock maximum flavor for a truly refreshing experience.

What You’ll Need

• Loose-leaf tea: Our Muscat Sencha Green Tea (floral and grape-like) or Chocolate Truffle Black Tea (rich and decadent).

• Cold, filtered water: 300ml for the cleanest taste.

• Optional add-ins: Fresh fruit slices (like lemon or white grapes), herbs (like mint), or a touch of honey for sweetness.

• Scale: To measure 10 grams of tea leaves.

How to Make Cold Brew Tea with the VacBrew Method

1. Choose Your Tea: 

   • Muscat Sencha Green Tea: A floral, grape-infused green tea for a light, refreshing sip.

   • Chocolate Truffle Black Tea: A rich, indulgent black tea with cocoa notes for a dessert-like treat.

2. Measure: Weigh out 10 grams of tea leaves for 300ml of cold, filtered water.

3. Set Up the VacBrew: Place the tea leaves in the VacBrew brewer. Add 300ml of cold, filtered water.

4. Brew with VacBrew Settings:

   • Set the VacBrew for a 12-minute cycle.

   • Initiate one vacuum cycle to enhance extraction. 

   • Pour the extracted tea back into the brewer, follow with one manual brew cycle to draw out maximum flavor.

5. Serve: Pour over ice, and garnish with lemon slices for the green tea or a sprig of mint for the black tea.

6. Customize: Try white grapes paired with Muscat Sencha for a fruity twist or a drizzle of honey with Chocolate Truffle for extra sweetness.

Tips for the Perfect Cold Brew Tea

• Trust the VacBrew: The 12-minute vacuum and manual brew cycles are designed to extract the full spectrum of flavors from teas.

• Experiment with Add-Ins: Pair Muscat Sencha with sliced grapes or raspberries, or enhance Chocolate Truffle with a dash of vanilla extract.
