- Steep: Add the tea bags or loose leaves to the hot water. Let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Sweeten: If you prefer, add sweetener while the tea is hot.
- Cool the tea: Let the tea reach room temperature, then transfer it to your Ice Uber Glass Pitcher filled with ice.
- Refrigerate: For a more intense flavor, refrigerate the tea for at least an hour before serving.
- Serve and enjoy: Pour the tea into a glass with fresh ice from the Ice Uber Glass Pitcher and add your favorite extras.
Method 2: Cold Brew Method
This method is perfect for a smoother, less bitter tea.
- Select your tea: Choose your Ekön Tea blend.
- Cold water: Fill your Ice Uber Glass Pitcher with cold, filtered water.
- Add the tea: Place the tea bags or loose leaves in the pitcher.
- Long infusion: Leave the pitcher in the refrigerator for 6 to 12 hours. The longer, the more intense the flavor.
- Remove the tea: Take out the tea bags or strain the leaves.
- Serve and enjoy: Pour the tea into a glass with fresh ice.
Additional Tips
